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

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

come you to the Pelham Medical Center Greer Family

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

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

tee for this event or

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

to provide the free arts

and crafts as well as the

musical entertainment we

enjoy over this 2 day festival Pelham Medical Center as

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

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-

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

subishi Polyester Film Citizens Building amp Loan GSP

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

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

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

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

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

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

come you to the Pelham Medical Center Greer Family

standing event As we reflect over the past 31 years I

zens of Greerrdquo Through the years Greer Family Festival

has been able to pro-

vide our guests free

moment to explain how lucky we the citizens of Greer

blessed to have a great partnership between The

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

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

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

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
