About
Sister Hazel is a musical group from Gainesville, Florida formed on 1993. They released their self-titled album on 1994 led by Andrew Copeland, Jeff Beres, and Ken Block through their independent lable Croakin Poets. Neither Ryan Newell and Mark Trojanowski were in the band when their debut album was released.
It was not until the release of their second album Somewhere More Familiar that Ryan and Mark joined. The album went on to sell 30,000 copies on its first week prompting Universal records to sign the group and re-released the album. The second album saw them released to what has now become their biggest single ever "All For You" hitting #11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
