Hanson's "Shout It Out" Tour Diary: Part II
By Taylor Hanson
Photographs by Taylor Hanson
Hanson's lead singer Taylor Hanson is quite the photographer and is kindly documenting life on the road with his brothers for PAPERMAG as they cross the country on their "Shout It Out" Tour.
The Shout It Out Tour is getting moving now, We've covered some respectable ground, moving from New England into the south, land of hot nights and melt-off-the-bone bbq (yummmm). We've had our hottest barefoot mile charity walks to date (takethewalk.net) with amazing turnouts at walks and shows alike (with phenomenal crowds setting the bar high for the rest of the tour.)
In this selection of snapshots, I've captured a pre-show whiplashing rockout with Isaac, some from-stage audience pics and a stationary test-drive of a "should have been purchased on the spot, but will most likely be purchased before the tour is finished" electric dirtbike. The tour has begun getting its swing, with more change-up's in the sets each night and some guest dancing on stage with fans and Rooney. Hope you dig this week's peek behind the curtain.
The road goes on. Enjoy!

Beautiful pictures. The show was amazing, in Louisville, KY. I did the walk and yes I got blisters but it was worth it. That and the show has inspired me to use "The Walk" to choreograph a dance to. Beautiful artists, and I mean through the artwork of the music and lyrics. Hope the rest of the tour goes great, wish I could go to more but I'm an adult have jobs. :)

I recall seeing him with a red camera before but does anybody know what kind of camera that is? I suspect he's taken some of these photos (and the previous set) with it, and I'm loving the dude's pictures.. help, anybody?

I was at the show last night in Grand Rapids Michigan at the Intersection and it was AMAZING! My sister and I absolutley loved you guys growing up! Our whole room was covered from the floor to celing with Hanson stuff! We had the movies, t-shirts, everything! So when we heard you guys were in town we jumped on the opportunity to see you guys so fast!! The 12 year old little girl came out in me sooo fast especially during the older songs! Everything you guys sang was amazing! It was so much fun! You guys are so awesome and I'm officially a die hard Hanson fan again! I hope you guys can make it back this way bc I'd love to see you guys again!
