Who:    Sister Hazel, named after a Gainesville nun, (and comprised of bassist Jett

             Beres, vocalist Ken Block, guitarist/vocalist Drew Copeland, lead guitarist Ryan

 Newell, and drummer Mark Trojanowski) recorded last year’s well-received “Release” that reached the band’s highest ever spot (number 37) on the Billboard  

Album Charts, topping even their platinum disc “Somewhere More Familiar.” And

 they are keeping the momentum going with “Heartland Highway” just released in     

 Oct. 2010, marking the band’s quickest album-to-album turnaround in their 15-

 plus-year career. “We are all in groove. We have all things rolling along,” says  

             Block, with Newell seconding that emotion: “I feel like we are stepping into our

             heyday.” The group is also deeply committed to charitable work, among which is

             Lyrics For Life, a charity they started for pediatric cancer.
