08.10.2019 – Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, TN. Six fans have the opportunity to explore the caverns with the band privately with choices between a simple walking tour of the cave or a tougher spelunking adventure.

08.15.2019 – Up to twelve fans to spend the day with Sister Hazel on a double deck party barge on Lake Travis in Austin, TX. Package includes lunch prepared by the band, jet ski rides, a first listen to the new EP Earth, and an intimate acoustic performance on the boat!

“The Great Escape was an idea we had about creating fun, memorable experiences for small groups of fans while out on tour,” said Jett Beres, bassist for the band. “It’s a chance for us to bond with the Hazelnuts on a deeper level with customized VIP adventures all over the country. The first Great Escape was in Ft. Collins, Colorado on a Whitewater rafting trip. The experience was amazing for us as well as the fans that joined us.  It was definitely a time we all won’t soon forget!”

No stranger to hosting fan centered events; Sister Hazel prides themselves as being pioneers of the entertainment cruise industry. January 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the sold out Rock Boat, the longest running music festival at sea.
