New Duo Dan + Shay Make Country Aircheck History with Debut Single
The debut single from country newcomers Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney), “19 You + Me,” is impacting radio now. Garnering an impressive 59 first-week adds at Country Radio, Dan + Shay have the most added debut of 2013 to date, setting the record for the biggest first week by a new duo in Country Aircheck history. The catchy, feel-good single is the first track from their upcoming album due to be released next year on Warner Bros. Records. Written by the duo, along with Nashville songwriter Danny Orton, the song is available now on iTunes.
Meeting in Nashville last December, Dan and Shay quickly hit it off with their musical similarities. The two began writing together and from those first writing sessions, their relationship grew to include performing in Nashville. Realizing they had discovered an infectious original sound all their own, the duo decided to make a record together mixing country rock/pop seamlessly throughout intimate power-ballads and stadium-worthy hits.
Take a listen to “19 You + Me” below.
