The 15-Kid Mystery: 7 Shocking Facts About The Hanson Brothers' Life And 2025 Tour
In late 2025, the pop rock trio Hanson—Isaac, Taylor, and Zac—are proving that their career is far from a nostalgic memory, having successfully transitioned from teen idols to independent music moguls and family men. The brothers are currently in the midst of a major resurgence, celebrating key album anniversaries and managing their own record label, 3CG Records, while juggling the demands of a combined family of 15 children. This year alone, the band performed over 60 shows, demonstrating a commitment to their craft and their dedicated global fanbase.
Far from the "MMMBop" sensation of the late '90s, the Hanson brothers have built a formidable, self-sustaining career, focusing on fresh music, fan-centric events like HDAY and The BTTI (Back to the Island) event, and extensive touring. Their recent activities, including a major anniversary tour and a new live album announcement, showcase a band that controls its own destiny and continues to evolve its soulful, rock-infused sound.

From 'MMMBop' to Managing the Empire: Hanson's 2025 Activities
The year 2025 has been a period of significant milestones and fresh content for the pop rock trio. The band continues to operate with complete independence under their own label, 3CG Records, which they founded in 2003 after their split from Island Def Jam.
The Underneath Experience and New Live Album
A major focus of their recent activity was the "Underneath Experience Tour," which celebrated the 20th anniversary of their first independent album, Underneath. This tour was a massive success, prompting a significant change in their release schedule.
- Underneath: Complete Re-release: The band released a deluxe 20th-anniversary version of the album, titled Underneath: Complete, in late 2024, driving excitement for the tour.
- Double Live Album EP: Due to the "outpouring of love" for the *Underneath Experience* shows, the band announced that their annual 2025 Hanson.net EP, typically a five-song studio release, would instead be expanded into a double live album.
Anniversary Tours and Fan Events
Hanson is known for its dedication to its back catalog and its most devoted fans. In 2025, they continued to honor their history while looking forward.
The "This Time Around Tour 25th Anniversary" is another key event for the band in 2025, celebrating the 25th year since the release of their second major-label album. This focus on anniversary tours allows them to revisit deep cuts and fan favorites, strengthening their topical authority beyond just the Middle of Nowhere era.
The annual HDAY event, a special fan gathering in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, also took place in May 2025, featuring concerts, karaoke, and a dance party, further cementing their unique connection with their fanbase.
The Family Life: 15 Children and Counting in Tulsa
Perhaps the most surprising fact for casual fans is the sheer size of the Hanson family today. The three brothers are all married and have a massive, combined family, which they often cite as a grounding force in their lives.
As of 2025, Isaac, Taylor, and Zac are fathers to a staggering 15 children between them. This focus on family is a central part of their identity, and they have managed to balance a demanding international touring schedule with a stable home life.
Despite their global fame, the brothers maintain their roots in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their decision to remain based in their hometown, where they run 3CG Records, allows them to keep their personal lives relatively private and their children close to their extended family.
Musical Side Projects and Legacy
Beyond the main band, the brothers have explored various side projects, demonstrating their commitment to music production and performance. Taylor Hanson is a member of the supergroup Tinted Windows, while all three brothers continue to support other artists through 3CG Records.
Their independent spirit, which led them to start 3CG Records, was a direct response to the frustrations of the major label system. This move allowed them full creative control, leading to successful albums like The Walk, Shout It Out, and their most recent full-length studio album, Red Green Blue (RGB). The Red Green Blue (RGB) album is particularly notable as it features a third of the songs written and produced by each individual brother.
The enduring success of the Hanson brothers is a testament to their talent, business acumen, and unwavering bond. From their "MMMBop" beginnings to their current status as a successful pop rock trio and independent record label owners, Isaac, Taylor, and Zac have carved out a unique and inspiring career path that continues to thrive well into 2025. Their ability to deliver fresh music and engaging tours while managing their large families ensures their legacy will continue for decades to come.
