About Dan+Shay:
Breakout country duo Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney) impressively debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart with their highly anticipated album, Where It All Began, making them the only duo in SoundScan reported history to debut at No. 1 with their first album on the Country Albums Chart and the highest Billboard charting debut artists of 2014. Released April 1st on Warner Bros. Records, the album showcases their nearly Top 10 single “19 You + Me,” which has been certified Gold by RIAA selling over 550,000 tracks, being featured as a “Hot Music Download” in People Country, along with being called out to “equal success” in USA Today. Named an “act that will help define 2014” by Billboard, Dan + Shay wrote every song on their album, as well, the album was produced by Smyers and co-produced by Scott Hendricks and Danny Orton. The ACM Award Nominees joined Hunter Hayes on tour this spring and will continue on the road in June with Blake Shelton. Made up of Smyers, a Pittsburgh, PA native, and Mooney, originally of Natural Dam, AR, the two realized they had a special musical connection after meeting at a party at Smyers’ house, in his tented out living room a little over a year ago. What started as a late night jam session among new friends, led to daily writing sessions that resulted in songs which quickly caught the attention of publishers, label heads and radio programmers alike.
