Hanson's "Shout It Out" Tour Diary: Part III
By Taylor Hanson
Photographs by Taylor Hanson
On this latest installment of this tour blogography, I seem to be taking more pictures of inanimate objects. As we wander from town to town, you find yourself in random, sometimes strange, sometimes beautiful, and sometimes strangely beautiful places. The tour has taken us to some frequent tour stops like Milwaukee and Chicago (always favorites in our book) and a few cities we had not seen in some time like Omaha. In all cases, our enthusiasm has been met with more than equal volume and excitement from packed houses at every tour stop.In St. Louis we were lucky to catch the St. Louis Arch as a foggy morning met the mid-day heat. In Kansas City, we came across some unexpected bagpiping...if that's what you call it. Back in the southern heat of Memphis, we stopped by the music landmark SUN Studios - home of Elvis, Johnny Cash and many others for a moment of music reflection and snapshots. It was amazing standing in the doorway that Elvis first walked through before making his first recordings.
Couple fave shots are of the amazing Lego digital camera (really works), and a few shots of Isaac inside the beautiful Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee under the towering chandelier.
We're coming up on a mad week of back-to-back shows...after all that is what we're out here to do. Hope you like this week's snapshot of the journey. Enjoy!

Awesome pix. You have a super artistic eye and I appreciate that you actually take the time to find the center for your photography at landmark sites such as the STL Arch.

Hey, I'd love to know what you are shooting with? In some ways it looks like it may just be edited photos from an iphone 4 but in particular I am interested in this camera Taylor seems to be carrying around, the one in the case...?

these are amazing shots, i love the way you catch the light and shadows to feel what the heat would have been like. i had a blast at the louisville show, did you get any interesting shots there? we'd like to see them!

Taylor really captures the spirit of the band through these photos. They are excellent! I'm glad they enjoyed something about Memphis that day even though we were having 114 degree oppressive heat index.

I have been a huge Hanson fan for a little over 13yrs, I was never able to to go to one of the concerts until this year I went to their Shout it Out concert in Columbus Ohio. I took my niece, and 7yr old daughter who is also a big fan. It was very emotional for me since I have been a fan for so long but it was also for my dughter she was in shock when Hanson came out on stage, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and asked me if she was dreaming..lol
we had a awesome time Rooney opened for them and they rocked, and Hanson was fabulous it was the best time I have ever had. And I hope to see them again but this time Front Row seats.
