Originating from Gainesville, FL, Sister Hazel is comprised of five gifted, seasoned
musicians whose well-spring of natural talent has been called “one of the Top 100 Most
Influential Independent Performers of the last 15 years” by Performing Songwriter
Magazine. Song “All for You,” topped the adult alternative charts during the summer of
1997 and the success propelled their album to platinum status. Since then, the band
has become firmly established not only in rock and alternative music, but now in country
with four back-to-back Billboard Top Country Album Chart entries. Living up to their fan-
centered reputation, the band was a pioneer in the themed cruise industry by co-
founding “The Rock Boat” and annually hosts events like the “Hazelnut Hang,” and
“Camp Hazelnut” that focuses on creating unique experiences and interacting with the
fans. Sister Hazel has been equally attentive to connecting with their audience through
social media having amassed over a million social followers. In addition to the events
and touring, the band also gives back with “Lyrics For Life.” Founded by singer Ken
Block, the charity unites musicians and celebrities for concerts and auctions to benefit
cancer research and patient-care charities
