lsquoWe will providecommunity careand servicesincluding bodymass index andblood pressure

IN THE UPSTATErsquo Tony Kouskolekas
President of PMC
BY JULIE HOLCOMBE
STAFF WRITER
As the title sponsor for the 31st annual Greer Family
Fest Pelham Medical Center (PMC) does not take its role
lightly
The hospital will have more than 128 staff members
manning the largest tent during the two-day festival of-
fering health care screenings community education and
kidsrsquo activities--and possibly saving lives in the process
ldquoWersquore excited and wersquore working hard It takes a lot
of planning and coordination to get us to the p oint that
wersquore ready to gordquo said Toni Conner registered nurse and
community education and outreach coordinator for PMC
ldquoWe feel like this is a great opportunity for us to interact
with members of the community to help them to learn
more about their healthhellipWe feel like an educated com-
munityndashan educated personndashas far as their health goes
does a better job of taking care of themselves Thatrsquos what
wersquore there to do ndashto help people live a healthier life and
handle the problems that come uprdquo
PMC has sponsored the festival for eight years provid-
ing free blood pressure screenings body mass index (BMI)
screenings and skin cancer screenings to the community
through the Health Zone tent
The services are making a difference According to
Conner 49 individuals were screened for skin cancer
during last yearrsquos festival resulting in seven patients with
positive skin lesions identified for follow-up testing with
a dermatologist The blood pressure checks have been
equally beneficial
Conner recalls one man who was reluctant to par-
ticipate in the screenings with his family members He
relented and was found to have an extremely high blood
pressure The staff talked to the man about the impor-
tance of knowing his numbers and encouraged him to
have the skin cancer screening as well where they found
two lesions
ldquoHis wife came by later that afternoon and said lsquoThank
you so much I feel like you saved my husbandrsquos life todayrsquo
For me that was worth a million dollars to feel that we had
actually impacted somebody I never saw them again and
I never heard how things went with him My hope is that
he got that taken care ofhellipand hopefully it changed his
health for the futurerdquo Conner said
ASK A DOCPMC is bringing back some popular activities as well as
introducing new ones to this yearrsquos event
In addition to the screenings the booth will offer games
and information nutritional guidelines velocity training
and diabetes risk assessment
Volunteers from the ER staff will once again man the
MASH tent at Creation Station allowing children to get
fake bandages wear splints and get slings
ldquoLast year it was a huge success Itrsquos a fun thing that
wersquore looking forward to doingrdquo Conner said ldquoRelationship
building and one-on-one contact with the community is
so importanthellipItrsquos a way for us to get to know them and
say you donrsquot have to be afraid Therersquos going to be people
to take care of you when you need it and therersquos people
here today to help you today to have a fun timerdquo
New this year will be a CPR training class and ldquoAsk a
Docrdquo sessions
The CPR training will be offered on Saturday from 1-3
pm and is open to people of any age The chest compres-
sion-only method can be learned in 10 minutes
ldquoItrsquos a fun musical way to learnhellipWersquoll be able to hope-
fully teach a lot of people how to save a liferdquo Conner said
ldquoAsk a Docrdquo will be an informal opportunity for festi-
val-goers to engage in conversation with physicians in
different specialties An emergency room doctor will be
available Friday from 7-8 pm an oncologist from Gibbs
Cancer Center will answer questions Saturday from 1-2
pm and an internal medicine physician will conclude the
session Saturday from 3-4 pm
ldquoWe are honored to be a part of this eventrdquo Conner said
ldquoIt is a wonderful opportunity for us to have a chance to
meet and get to know the community members better
but also to help educate them on staying healthy and tak-
ing care of problems that they may haverdquo

It is my pleasure on behalf of the Greater Greer
Chamber Of Commerce and the Committee to wel-
come you to the Pelham Medical Center Greer Family
Festival presented by the City of Greer and The Greer
Citizen This marks the 31st Anniversary of this out-
standing event As we reflect over the past 31 years I
am proud the festival has maintained the vision the
founders wanted which wasrdquo to give back to the citi-
zens of Greerrdquo Through the years Greer Family Festival
has been able to pro-
vide our guests free
arts and crafts for
our Children Free

not only local artists
but national record-
ing stars and last but
not least a vast array
of local food along
with arts amp craft ven-
dors We truly offer
something for all
ages I hope if you
have ever worked on
a planning commit-
tee for this event or
ever served in any
capacity you will be
present at the Sister

day night at 8 at the

This festival would not happen without your help We
want to stop for a moment on Saturday night to show
our appreciation
I have been involved since 1995 and I want to take a
moment to explain how lucky we the citizens of Greer
are to live in the community we live in In Greer we are
blessed to have a great partnership between The
Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce The City of Greer
and Greer Station Association The Chamber staff put a
huge amount of man hours into the planning and im-
plementation of this event The City not only gives us
the use of the City Park but also provides us with City
services such as Fire Police Parks and Recreation as
well as Street cleaning and trash pickup The Greer Sta-
tion Association represents the downtown merchants
and they allow us to take over their streets and a lot of
their parking to put on
this event The level of
cooperation is unparal-
leled and we should be
grateful to live work and
play in Greer
Sponsorships are the
life blood of the festival
It obviously takes money
to provide the free arts
and crafts as well as the
musical entertainment we
enjoy over this 2 day festival Pelham Medical Center as

cure top name entertainment for your listening plea-

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoWe will providecommunity careand servicesincluding bodymass index andblood pressure
readings and anlsquoAsk the Doctorrsquostation WE THINKTHIS IS THEPREMIER FESTIVAL
IN THE UPSTATErsquo Tony Kouskolekas
President of PMC
BY JULIE HOLCOMBE
STAFF WRITER
As the title sponsor for the 31st annual Greer Family
Fest Pelham Medical Center (PMC) does not take its role
lightly
The hospital will have more than 128 staff members
manning the largest tent during the two-day festival of-
fering health care screenings community education and
kidsrsquo activities--and possibly saving lives in the process
ldquoWersquore excited and wersquore working hard It takes a lot
of planning and coordination to get us to the p oint that
wersquore ready to gordquo said Toni Conner registered nurse and
community education and outreach coordinator for PMC
ldquoWe feel like this is a great opportunity for us to interact
with members of the community to help them to learn
more about their healthhellipWe feel like an educated com-
munityndashan educated personndashas far as their health goes
does a better job of taking care of themselves Thatrsquos what
wersquore there to do ndashto help people live a healthier life and
handle the problems that come uprdquo
PMC has sponsored the festival for eight years provid-
ing free blood pressure screenings body mass index (BMI)
screenings and skin cancer screenings to the community
through the Health Zone tent
The services are making a difference According to
Conner 49 individuals were screened for skin cancer
during last yearrsquos festival resulting in seven patients with
positive skin lesions identified for follow-up testing with
a dermatologist The blood pressure checks have been
equally beneficial
Conner recalls one man who was reluctant to par-
ticipate in the screenings with his family members He
relented and was found to have an extremely high blood
pressure The staff talked to the man about the impor-
tance of knowing his numbers and encouraged him to
have the skin cancer screening as well where they found
two lesions
ldquoHis wife came by later that afternoon and said lsquoThank
you so much I feel like you saved my husbandrsquos life todayrsquo
For me that was worth a million dollars to feel that we had
actually impacted somebody I never saw them again and
I never heard how things went with him My hope is that
he got that taken care ofhellipand hopefully it changed his
health for the futurerdquo Conner said
ASK A DOCPMC is bringing back some popular activities as well as
introducing new ones to this yearrsquos event
In addition to the screenings the booth will offer games
and information nutritional guidelines velocity training

huge amount of man hours into the planning and im-
plementation of this event The City not only gives us
the use of the City Park but also provides us with City
services such as Fire Police Parks and Recreation as
well as Street cleaning and trash pickup The Greer Sta-
tion Association represents the downtown merchants

leled and we should be

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

IN THE UPSTATErsquo Tony Kouskolekas
President of PMC
BY JULIE HOLCOMBE
STAFF WRITER
As the title sponsor for the 31st annual Greer Family
Fest Pelham Medical Center (PMC) does not take its role
lightly
The hospital will have more than 128 staff members
manning the largest tent during the two-day festival of-
fering health care screenings community education and
kidsrsquo activities--and possibly saving lives in the process
ldquoWersquore excited and wersquore working hard It takes a lot
of planning and coordination to get us to the p oint that
wersquore ready to gordquo said Toni Conner registered nurse and
community education and outreach coordinator for PMC
ldquoWe feel like this is a great opportunity for us to interact
with members of the community to help them to learn
more about their healthhellipWe feel like an educated com-
munityndashan educated personndashas far as their health goes
does a better job of taking care of themselves Thatrsquos what
wersquore there to do ndashto help people live a healthier life and
handle the problems that come uprdquo
PMC has sponsored the festival for eight years provid-
ing free blood pressure screenings body mass index (BMI)
screenings and skin cancer screenings to the community
through the Health Zone tent
The services are making a difference According to
Conner 49 individuals were screened for skin cancer
during last yearrsquos festival resulting in seven patients with
positive skin lesions identified for follow-up testing with
a dermatologist The blood pressure checks have been
equally beneficial
Conner recalls one man who was reluctant to par-
ticipate in the screenings with his family members He
relented and was found to have an extremely high blood
pressure The staff talked to the man about the impor-
tance of knowing his numbers and encouraged him to
have the skin cancer screening as well where they found
two lesions
ldquoHis wife came by later that afternoon and said lsquoThank
you so much I feel like you saved my husbandrsquos life todayrsquo
For me that was worth a million dollars to feel that we had
actually impacted somebody I never saw them again and
I never heard how things went with him My hope is that
he got that taken care ofhellipand hopefully it changed his
health for the futurerdquo Conner said
ASK A DOCPMC is bringing back some popular activities as well as
introducing new ones to this yearrsquos event
In addition to the screenings the booth will offer games
and information nutritional guidelines velocity training
and diabetes risk assessment
Volunteers from the ER staff will once again man the
MASH tent at Creation Station allowing children to get
fake bandages wear splints and get slings
ldquoLast year it was a huge success Itrsquos a fun thing that
wersquore looking forward to doingrdquo Conner said ldquoRelationship
building and one-on-one contact with the community is
so importanthellipItrsquos a way for us to get to know them and
say you donrsquot have to be afraid Therersquos going to be people
to take care of you when you need it and therersquos people
here today to help you today to have a fun timerdquo
New this year will be a CPR training class and ldquoAsk a
Docrdquo sessions
The CPR training will be offered on Saturday from 1-3
pm and is open to people of any age The chest compres-
sion-only method can be learned in 10 minutes
ldquoItrsquos a fun musical way to learnhellipWersquoll be able to hope-
fully teach a lot of people how to save a liferdquo Conner said
ldquoAsk a Docrdquo will be an informal opportunity for festi-
val-goers to engage in conversation with physicians in
different specialties An emergency room doctor will be
available Friday from 7-8 pm an oncologist from Gibbs
Cancer Center will answer questions Saturday from 1-2
pm and an internal medicine physician will conclude the
session Saturday from 3-4 pm
ldquoWe are honored to be a part of this eventrdquo Conner said
ldquoIt is a wonderful opportunity for us to have a chance to
meet and get to know the community members better
but also to help educate them on staying healthy and tak-
ing care of problems that they may haverdquo

It is my pleasure on behalf of the Greater Greer
Chamber Of Commerce and the Committee to wel-
come you to the Pelham Medical Center Greer Family
Festival presented by the City of Greer and The Greer
Citizen This marks the 31st Anniversary of this out-
standing event As we reflect over the past 31 years I
am proud the festival has maintained the vision the
founders wanted which wasrdquo to give back to the citi-
zens of Greerrdquo Through the years Greer Family Festival
has been able to pro-
vide our guests free
arts and crafts for
our Children Free
entertainment by
not only local artists
but national record-
ing stars and last but
not least a vast array
of local food along
with arts amp craft ven-
dors We truly offer
something for all
ages I hope if you
have ever worked on
a planning commit-
tee for this event or
ever served in any
capacity you will be
present at the Sister
Hazel show on Satur-
day night at 8 at the
Greer CPW Garfield
Main Stage as we recognize you for your contribution
This festival would not happen without your help We
want to stop for a moment on Saturday night to show
our appreciation
I have been involved since 1995 and I want to take a
moment to explain how lucky we the citizens of Greer
are to live in the community we live in In Greer we are
blessed to have a great partnership between The
Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce The City of Greer
and Greer Station Association The Chamber staff put a
huge amount of man hours into the planning and im-
plementation of this event The City not only gives us
the use of the City Park but also provides us with City
services such as Fire Police Parks and Recreation as
well as Street cleaning and trash pickup The Greer Sta-
tion Association represents the downtown merchants
and they allow us to take over their streets and a lot of
their parking to put on
this event The level of
cooperation is unparal-
leled and we should be
grateful to live work and
play in Greer
Sponsorships are the
life blood of the festival
It obviously takes money
to provide the free arts
and crafts as well as the
musical entertainment we
enjoy over this 2 day festival Pelham Medical Center as
the title sponsor has stepped to the plate so we can se-
cure top name entertainment for your listening plea-
sure This is their 8th year as the title sponsor and we
are proud of their commitment to our community not
only as title sponsor but as a leader in top quality
health services in our community

subishi Polyester Film Citizens Building amp Loan GSP

ary These companies have been a part of the Festival

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoWe will providecommunity careand servicesincluding bodymass index andblood pressure

IN THE UPSTATErsquo Tony Kouskolekas
President of PMC
BY JULIE HOLCOMBE
STAFF WRITER
As the title sponsor for the 31st annual Greer Family
Fest Pelham Medical Center (PMC) does not take its role
lightly
The hospital will have more than 128 staff members
manning the largest tent during the two-day festival of-
fering health care screenings community education and
kidsrsquo activities--and possibly saving lives in the process
ldquoWersquore excited and wersquore working hard It takes a lot
of planning and coordination to get us to the p oint that
wersquore ready to gordquo said Toni Conner registered nurse and
community education and outreach coordinator for PMC
ldquoWe feel like this is a great opportunity for us to interact
with members of the community to help them to learn
more about their healthhellipWe feel like an educated com-
munityndashan educated personndashas far as their health goes
does a better job of taking care of themselves Thatrsquos what
wersquore there to do ndashto help people live a healthier life and
handle the problems that come uprdquo
PMC has sponsored the festival for eight years provid-
ing free blood pressure screenings body mass index (BMI)
screenings and skin cancer screenings to the community
through the Health Zone tent
The services are making a difference According to
Conner 49 individuals were screened for skin cancer
during last yearrsquos festival resulting in seven patients with
positive skin lesions identified for follow-up testing with
a dermatologist The blood pressure checks have been
equally beneficial
Conner recalls one man who was reluctant to par-
ticipate in the screenings with his family members He
relented and was found to have an extremely high blood
pressure The staff talked to the man about the impor-
tance of knowing his numbers and encouraged him to
have the skin cancer screening as well where they found
two lesions
ldquoHis wife came by later that afternoon and said lsquoThank
you so much I feel like you saved my husbandrsquos life todayrsquo
For me that was worth a million dollars to feel that we had
actually impacted somebody I never saw them again and
I never heard how things went with him My hope is that
he got that taken care ofhellipand hopefully it changed his
health for the futurerdquo Conner said
ASK A DOCPMC is bringing back some popular activities as well as
introducing new ones to this yearrsquos event
In addition to the screenings the booth will offer games
and information nutritional guidelines velocity training
and diabetes risk assessment
Volunteers from the ER staff will once again man the
MASH tent at Creation Station allowing children to get
fake bandages wear splints and get slings
ldquoLast year it was a huge success Itrsquos a fun thing that
wersquore looking forward to doingrdquo Conner said ldquoRelationship
building and one-on-one contact with the community is
so importanthellipItrsquos a way for us to get to know them and
say you donrsquot have to be afraid Therersquos going to be people
to take care of you when you need it and therersquos people
here today to help you today to have a fun timerdquo
New this year will be a CPR training class and ldquoAsk a
Docrdquo sessions
The CPR training will be offered on Saturday from 1-3
pm and is open to people of any age The chest compres-
sion-only method can be learned in 10 minutes
ldquoItrsquos a fun musical way to learnhellipWersquoll be able to hope-
fully teach a lot of people how to save a liferdquo Conner said
ldquoAsk a Docrdquo will be an informal opportunity for festi-
val-goers to engage in conversation with physicians in
different specialties An emergency room doctor will be
available Friday from 7-8 pm an oncologist from Gibbs
Cancer Center will answer questions Saturday from 1-2
pm and an internal medicine physician will conclude the
session Saturday from 3-4 pm
ldquoWe are honored to be a part of this eventrdquo Conner said
ldquoIt is a wonderful opportunity for us to have a chance to
meet and get to know the community members better
but also to help educate them on staying healthy and tak-
ing care of problems that they may haverdquo

zens of Greerrdquo Through the years Greer Family Festival

moment to explain how lucky we the citizens of Greer

blessed to have a great partnership between The
Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce The City of Greer
and Greer Station Association The Chamber staff put a
huge amount of man hours into the planning and im-
plementation of this event The City not only gives us
the use of the City Park but also provides us with City
services such as Fire Police Parks and Recreation as
well as Street cleaning and trash pickup The Greer Sta-
tion Association represents the downtown merchants
and they allow us to take over their streets and a lot of
their parking to put on
this event The level of
cooperation is unparal-
leled and we should be
grateful to live work and
play in Greer
Sponsorships are the
life blood of the festival

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

It is my pleasure on behalf of the Greater Greer
Chamber Of Commerce and the Committee to wel-
come you to the Pelham Medical Center Greer Family
Festival presented by the City of Greer and The Greer
Citizen This marks the 31st Anniversary of this out-
standing event As we reflect over the past 31 years I
am proud the festival has maintained the vision the
founders wanted which wasrdquo to give back to the citi-
zens of Greerrdquo Through the years Greer Family Festival
has been able to pro-
vide our guests free
arts and crafts for
our Children Free
entertainment by
not only local artists
but national record-
ing stars and last but
not least a vast array
of local food along
with arts amp craft ven-
dors We truly offer
something for all
ages I hope if you
have ever worked on
a planning commit-
tee for this event or
ever served in any
capacity you will be
present at the Sister

day night at 8 at the
Greer CPW Garfield

This festival would not happen without your help We
want to stop for a moment on Saturday night to show
our appreciation
I have been involved since 1995 and I want to take a
moment to explain how lucky we the citizens of Greer
are to live in the community we live in In Greer we are
blessed to have a great partnership between The
Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce The City of Greer
and Greer Station Association The Chamber staff put a
huge amount of man hours into the planning and im-
plementation of this event The City not only gives us
the use of the City Park but also provides us with City
services such as Fire Police Parks and Recreation as
well as Street cleaning and trash pickup The Greer Sta-
tion Association represents the downtown merchants
and they allow us to take over their streets and a lot of
their parking to put on
this event The level of
cooperation is unparal-
leled and we should be
grateful to live work and
play in Greer
Sponsorships are the
life blood of the festival
It obviously takes money
to provide the free arts
and crafts as well as the
musical entertainment we
enjoy over this 2 day festival Pelham Medical Center as
the title sponsor has stepped to the plate so we can se-
cure top name entertainment for your listening plea-
sure This is their 8th year as the title sponsor and we
are proud of their commitment to our community not

subishi Polyester Film Citizens Building amp Loan GSP

ary These companies have been a part of the Festival

val Bass Tournament held April 18th at Lake Robinson

tribution it makes to our festival Also Thanks again to

ing us to use Lake Robinson

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo

lsquoHazelnutsrsquo converge in Greer Saturday night
HEADLINER
Sister Hazelrsquos creative train just keeps rolling Last
yearrsquos well-received ldquoReleaserdquo reached the bandrsquos
highest ever spot (37) on the Billboard Album Charts
topping even their platinum disc ldquoSomewhere More
Familiarrdquo and they are keeping the momentum going
with ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo (Oct 12 2010 Rock Ridge
Music) marking the bandrsquos quickest album-to-album
turnaround in their 15-plus-year career
According to bassist Jett Beres ldquoReleaserdquo ldquosparked a
creativityrdquo in the Gainesville FL-bred band (vocalist Ken
Block guitaristvocalist Drew Copeland lead guitaristRyan Newell drummer Mark Trojanowski and Beres)
that led to ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo a collection that they
all agree is their most diverse-sounding disc ldquoAll of us
like a lot of different musicrdquo says Trojanowski ldquobut we
have a vibe togetherrdquo ndash one that helps to create the
Sister Hazel signature mix of Southern pop hooks and
country rock harmonies ldquoThere are a lot of moments
that have never been in Sister Hazel songs beforerdquo
notes Newell adding ldquoWe strive to give our audience
something different each timerdquo
The grouprsquos 8th full-length ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquoreflects a rootsy journey for both the band and the
listeners Beres describes the album as ldquoAmerican road
trip musicrdquo while Copeland suggests ldquoItrsquos one of those
discs you can put on and listen to front to backrdquo The
disc ebbs and flows between rockinrsquo tracks (Blockrsquos
ldquoGreat Escaperdquo and Copelandrsquos ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo and ldquoWhere Yoursquore Goingrdquo)
and more poignant numbers (Newellrsquos
ldquoFar Awayrdquo and Blockrsquos ldquoSaddest
Song [Not Coming
Home]rdquo)
Beresrsquo ldquoLessons in Love Hope and Faithrdquo song trilogy
which closes the disc is both ambitious and down-to-
earth Each song is about a woman in his life who
taught him important lessons his wife (ldquoThe Roadrdquo) his
daughter (ldquoSnow-Globe Worldrdquo) and his mother
(ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo) Each one has a slightly different
sound (country roots rock and arena rock) but they
flow together musically ndash a fitting encapsulation of the
recordrsquos varied but organic sound
ldquoHeartland Highwayrdquo maintained and refined
ldquoReleaserdquorsquos recording process For this 12-track discBlock Copeland Newell and Beres all contributed a trio
of tunes for which they each served as producers
ldquoEveryonersquos really involved in the arrangement
processrdquo states Newell ldquoBut the songwriter is the person
who decides what road wersquore going to go downrdquo Trojanowski reveals that ldquoFar Awayrdquo really fell into
place after he come up with the chorus drum part
while Newell notes that Copelandrsquos tune ldquoShersquos Got A
Hold On Merdquo had a more country vibe initially but
wound up with a heavier guitar groove to it Copeland
meanwhile handed over the reins for his tune ldquoLet The
Fire Burnrdquo to Block after he asked to sing it ldquoI felt
honoredrdquo Copeland admits ldquothat it was one of those
songs that Ken connected with enough to want to
singrdquo Block feels the bandrsquos experience factors into this
sense of camaraderie ldquoWe know that this isnrsquot the lastalbum Sister Hazel is going to make so we donrsquot hold
on so tightly to things Itrsquos really liberating to know
that we are all in this togetherrdquo
The guys again gathered for pre-production at a
Gainesville rehearsal studio that they have used for
years and then headed up to record in Nashville
Additional recording took place at Newellrsquos
home studio while Copeland and Block did
their vocals in Gainesville at both their favorite
Best Western (also used on ldquoReleaserdquo) and at a
condo by nearby Crescent Beach The bandcontinued their collaboration with Nashville-
based engineer Chip Matthews whom they
consider something of a sixth member of the band
ldquoHis dedication to our projectrdquo states Block ldquowas
incrediblerdquo The bandrsquos collaborative nature also saw
them utilizing the expertise of Nashville guitar aces Pat
Buchanan and Tom Bukovac while welcoming back old
pal harmonica player Rob Peck who played on their
first album
Family both blood and band figures prominently in
the Sister Hazel world Newell the one bandmember
who isnrsquot a family man asserts that ldquoFamily has always
been first in this band and we finally have found the
balance to make it all workrdquo One of Block and
Copelandrsquos favorite parts during this recording
experience was when they went were able to record
vocals at Crescent Beach (where they went as kids) andwere able to surf and sing while having their families
there too
The band still hits the road regularly doing around
100 dates annually but they also find other avenues to
maintain close ties to their fans ldquoThe only way we can
keep doing what we are doing is having our fans
continue to connect and support usrdquo proclaims
Copeland The bandrsquos Rock Boat excursion the worldrsquos
largest floating music festival celebrated its 10th
anniversary this past January and next yearrsquos outing wil
be a ldquoUncharted Waters cruiserdquo according to Trojanowski ldquoWe missed a lot of ports due to weather
so we wonrsquot pick a destination until we leave a portrdquo
Just as popular is their annual Hazelnut Hang
(ldquoHazelnutsrdquo being the name for the grouprsquos ardent
fans) at The Windjammer on South Carolinarsquos Isle of
Palms Among this yearrsquos highlights was the grouprsquos
ldquoTriple Crowrdquo set where they covered tunes by Sheryl
Crow the Counting Crows and the Black Crowes
The band has embraced the Internet and social
networking too Their Twitter followers are fast
approaching the 1 million mark and last year they didseveral unique fan-centric events (one where fans coul
call a special cell phone number to talk to one of the
guys another being a set of podcasts hosted by each o
the band members)
Itrsquos also not surprising that the group named after
the Gainesville nun Sister Hazel Williams is deeply
committed to charitable work Among their many
involvements is Lyrics For Life a charity they started to
raise money for pediatric cancer (Block lost his brother
to cancer when they were both teens)
After all their years together the band is feeling liketheyrsquore reaching new milestones with ldquoHeartland
Highwayrdquo ldquoWe are all in groove We have all things
rolling alongrdquo asserts Block with Newell seconding tha
emotion ldquoI feel like we are stepping into our heydayrdquo
