Sister Hazel biografia

Sister Hazel are an American rock band hailing from Gainesville, Florida, US, with a penchant for penning upbeat, highly melodic tunes with their distinctive southern rock tone.

The band formed in Gainesville in 1993, naming themselves Sister Hazel after a local missionary who ran a homeless shelter, coming together through all being established on the local scene. The five piece consists of Ken Block (guitarist.vocals), Andrew Copeland (guitarist/vocals), Ryan Newell (Lead guitarist), Jeff Beres (bassist) and Mark Trojanowski (drums).

They recorded their self-titled debut album in 1994 on Croakin' Poets, which was followed by their second in 1997, "…Somewhere More Familiar" which went on to sell 30,000 copies in its initial pressing. This drew the attention of major label, Universal Records, who signed the band and re-released the record. Their single "All For You" reached number 11 in the Billboard Hot 100, being a high point of their career.

Their third album was released in 2000, "Fortress" which featured the singles "Champagne High" and "Change Your Mind" which achieved moderate success. However, the band split from Universal three years later, moving to the Sixthman Label to release their fourth album, "Chasing Daylight" alongside a live album and DVD.

The band continued to release a steady stream of records, including a live acoustic album in 2008, titled "Before the Amplifiers, Live Acoustic." Their music has been used on several soundtracks, including "The Wedding Planner," "Bedazzled" and "10 Things I Hate About You."

Avaliações

Gainesville, Florida natives Sister Hazel have been doing their alternative rock thing for almost twenty years now, having released eight studio albums to date. They’ve had their music feature on soundtracks such as Clay Pigeons, Bedazzled, and 10 Things I Hate About You. They also made an appearance on the Fleetwood Mac Tribute album, in 1999 with their distinctive rendition of “Gold Dust Woman”. They are definitely one of those bands that a healthy balance of commercial and credible, with their huge debut single, “All For You”, which peaked in the US charts at 11, in 1997. They open this evening with “Life Got in The Way”, there is delay on the guitars as the lights go from dark to light, illuminating the stage. The harmonies are immediately locking around the wordy verses. Track 3 of their set “Just Remember” opens with an electric guitar solo, the lead guitarist, Ryan Newell, using his slide, which he is so well known for.
When they launch into “All For You”, they sing the chorus a capella as a pre song warm up, and the whole audience join in singing at the top of their lungs. Singer, Ken Block takes a step back from the microphone before starting the song to just take in the amazing audience reaction. The set, rightly so turned into a mutual appreciation society. An absolutely amazing live band, bringing back that 90’s alternative rock nostalgia, a point in time where bands like Sister Hazel, Three Doors Down, Counting Crows and more ruled the charts, the soundtracks of movies, and the radio airwaves.
