(7/17/00, 7 a.m. ET) - **Sister Hazel** is enjoying a week off as singer Ken Block is at home enjoying time with his son, Chanson Montgomery Block, who is now over a month old, before heading back out on the road Friday (July 21) in Atlanta. Block says he's still dedicated to touring and told LAUNCH the band members still consider themselves "road warriors."

"People can say a lot of things about different bands, and people can say a lot of things about Sister Hazel, but one thing no one will ever say is that we weren't willing to work hard and be out there and do all the little things," said Block. "One of the main differences for me is that I have a child, and I think that's going to be a dramatic transition for me personally and emotionally and spiritually. But I think that Sister Hazel, even being out there maybe one step back from where we were before, is still two steps ahead of a lot of touring bands because that's a priority for us."

July 21 - Atlanta, GA - The Roxy
