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.
In their first showing on the country music charts they made a strong debut with "Lighter In The Dark" at #4 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, #6 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart, #30 on Billboard's Top Current Albums chart.
The band landed on Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart again in 2018 and 2019 with Volumes I, II, III, and IV of a clever EP compilation series titled "Elements."? ?In February 2018, "Water," landed on the Billboard Country Albums chart at #9 and at #2 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart along with making their debut on the most revered stage in country music, the Grand Ole Opry. In September of 2018, "Wind" landed at #1 on iTunes country page and #11 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart. In February 2019, Vol. III "Fire" landed at #5 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart and #46 Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart. The collectible compilation series ended with "Earth" which again landed at on the charts at #15 on Billboard's Americana/Folk Album chart.
Living up to their fan-centered reputation, the band hosts annual events like "Hazelnut Hang," that focuses on fan involvement and was a pioneer in themed cruise experiences by co-founding "The Rock Boat," a cruise featuring nonstop opportunities for fan/artist interaction. Sister Hazel has been equally attentive to connecting with their audience through social media. They have since made their Grand Ole Opry debut and shared the stages with country music superstars at The CMA Festival, Tortuga Music Festival, among others. In addition to the events and touring, the band also gives back with "Lyrics For Life." Founded by singer Ken Block and the Band, the charity unites musicians and celebrities for concerts and auctions to benefit cancer research and patient-care charities.
Sister Hazel should stop touring. He can’t sing anymore and I left early. First time I have ever left a concert before it was over. Very dissatisfied and think he should not charge money to sing like that. He should have stopped when he was still good.
Good musicians bad vocals. Left early. Pryor Baird show prior to Sister Hazel was outstanding.
So happy to be able to see Sister Hazel in Knoxville! We moved up from Florida a few years ago and have missed seeing them. A Sister Hazel concert is always a good time! Fun! Entertaining! Great Music! Love these guys! The Bijou is a great venue to see them in! Hope they come back soon!
Wow, I never thought I would write a review like this from a band that I have seen several times and really enjoyed in the past. Sister Hazel was really unimpressive, lead singer acted like he called it in. And for some reason, I think his voice is gone. We left after the first four songs and people around us were leaving as well. Sometimes it’s time to hang it up and celebrate a wonderful career. I think this was their time.
For a band with decades of playing experience, this was truly awful. A garage jam band sounded better and more in tune. Wow, left after about 30 minutes. Glad the opener was entertaining and enjoyable to listen to or else the entire event would have been a colossal bust.
Seats were fantastic. Venue is small and compact—usually good for shows. Sound quality was poor for Sister Hazel—could NOT understand main vocalist at all, talking or singing. Opening act was terrific but never could catch his name.
I’ve loved this band for as long as I can remember. I’ve seen them twice before, albeit many years ago. The band is still strong, except for lead singer Ken Block. Not sure what is going on with him, but his appearance and performance were shocking. He needs some help and they need to get off the road until that time. I wish them the best, but it’s not fair to fans who pay good money for a show, babysitter, and a night out, only to find that the singer can’t sing. I’m still a big fan, but this is really sad to see.
The show was outstanding as always!! We love the new song too!
The band was great, and we really enjoyed their music.
Small venue small crowd. Don’t know if the sound tech was to blame but couldn’t understand the vocals. Good band but this was a bad experience.
