You’ve probably heard the band Hanson do a lot of things over the past 25 years: chart-topping pop anthems, live albums, even Christmas music. But now the brothers from Oklahoma are exploring a whole new approach. The band’s new double album “String Theory” features new songs and old hits with symphonic accompaniment. Not only that — the brothers have also been taking the show on the road, performing with orchestras around the world. Joining us to talk about the group’s latest effort is multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Taylor Hanson.
