Mostly great

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.

Small venue accoustic show. Great crowd interaction. Wonderful music.
Amazing vocals and music. Had a great time! These guys are the real deal…I believe on and off stage
Never been to a bad Sister Hazel show, now it's even better since they have begun Integrating with the crowd!
We had a great time watching our favorite band at a great venue - House of Blues Chicago. Sister Hazel is the best!!!
One of the best concerts I’ve been to in years. The lead singer still sings as well as he used to. The harmonies are still wonderful. Great rhythm section. And last, but certainly not least, the lead guitar player is amazing. He played an old Gibson SG the entire night. He rocked. They whole band did. This band is nonstop fun with a great sound. I will be there when they come back around.
The energy was out of this world! I traveled over 5 hours to see Sister Hazel and I was not disappointed!
Great high energy show. Still sound amazing after all the years
Sister Hazel has been my favorite band for YEARS! I absolutely love this band.. they hit the stage and we’re ready to give us all a great show and they damn sure delivered! They were fun, energetic, crowd interactive and played so many favorites and new songs too! What I love about SH is they are family friendly, my little friend Chloe was there with her family. From young to old we all had a blast singing our hearts out, dancing and making new friends and reconnecting with old friends! I wish they’d play Mars Music Hall more often, until then I will continue to travel to see them!! ✌️❤️🎵
Sister Hazel puts on an amazing show!! Still as good as they were 30 years ago!!
