Press Release: SISTER HAZEL PLANS 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS TOUR 2007

SISTER HAZEL PLANS 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS TOUR 2007



Gainesville, Florida five-piece Sister Hazel is planning to do a special set
of tour dates, dubbed the "12 Days of Christmas Tour 2007," to celebrate the
recent release of their holiday record, "Santa's Playlist." The tour kicks
off in late November and goes through the end of the year (see full tour
schedule below), and it features stops at a number of seated venues the band
has not played in before, such as BB King's in New York City, the Somerville
Theater in Boston, and the Neighborhood Theater in Charlotte, to name just a
few. For the 12 Days of Christmas Tour 2007 dates, the band plans to play
all of the songs on "Santa's Playlist," as well as a handful of fans'
favorite rock hits. The first of the shows will be at the Performing Arts
Center in the band's hometown of Gainesville.



Kicking off the holiday festivities prior to the tour will be the band's
appearance at the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival in Chicago on November
17th. Joining KT Tunstall, Corbin Bleu and others, Sister Hazel will be
performing on the The Harris Stage at Pioneer Court along Michigan Avenue in
the afternoon (a 5-7 song rock set). The band is also slated to grace the
WTMX-FM float in the parade, upon which they will perform acoustically.
The parade is part of the evening festivities, during which Mickey Mouse and
his pals from the Walt Disney WorldR Resort will illuminate over one million
lights on 200 trees along The Magnificent Mile. The Magnificent Mile Lights
Festival is the first official nationwide event celebrating the holiday
season and is held along North Michigan Avenue between Oak Street and the
Chicago River. This year is the first time this magical event will shine on
a national stage through syndicated national television broadcasts. The
procession and fireworks will air in over 40 percent of the country between
November 18th and December 25th.



"Santa's Playlist" was released on September 25th, and it was recorded in
response to countless requests from fans. The album incorporates classics
and standards remade in their own unique way, obscure Christmas tunes, and
several of the band's originals. "Each of us got to bring in three songs
and produce them," explains guitarist Ryan Newell. "Being in a band with
five equal voices, it was a great experience to see each one of us take
turns in the producer seat," adds vocalist/guitarist Drew Copeland.



Sister Hazel will also be hosting Rock Boat VIII, which will sail from
Miami, FL, on January 19, 2008, for a five-day festival at sea with port
stops in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. The Rock Boat was co-founded by Sister
Hazel and Sixthman.



Sister Hazel is: Ken Block (vocals, acoustic guitar), Drew Copeland
(vocals, rhythm guitar), Ryan Newell (lead guitar), Jett Beres (bass), Mark
Trojanowski (drums).
