NASHVILLE, TN (Press Release, October 30, 2015) - Croakin’ Poets’ platinum-selling recording artists, Sister Hazel, will release their first new album in five years, Lighter In The Dark, February 2016.

Each member of the group is involved in writing and performing their songs, and the result is a culmination of 20 years of friendship and musical stylings.

“The five years since our last record has been anything but a straight and clear path,” states bassist/vocalist Jett Beres. “After making records together for over 20 years, we found ourselves struggling to find The Sound; a body of work that would honestly represent who each of us were as a band and as individuals.  The music that was created was our “lighter in the dark.”  The songs that form this record slowly began to illuminate a clarity of direction and creativity for us.  In choosing a record title, this lyric from the song “Something to Believe In” became the clear choice to represent our journey, our struggles, and ultimately our deliverance.”
