Hanson, Holiday Pops Top Pittsburgh Weekend Events

PITTSBURGH, PA - If you think all 90s band Hanson is known for is “MMMBop,” their chart-topping hit from their debut album, think again. The trio of brothers frequently tours around the holidays with a Christmas-themed show.

When they appear in Pittsburgh this weekend on the Wintry Mix Live tour, expect to hear songs such as “White Christmas,” “A Wonderful Christmas Time,” “Run Rudolph Run” and “Finally It’s Christmas.” Oh, and don’t worry, all you fans of the 90s. They’ll still work in the infectious “MMMBop.”

Hanson performs Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Roxian in McKees Rocks.
