Whether it is hearing Dan + Shay perform live, seeing them perform on YouTube videos, or listening to them through my earbuds or on the Alexa speaker, I enjoy every moment that I get to hear my favorite country music duo.
While I am always impressed with and thoroughly enjoy Dan Smyers' co-producing on their albums and their extremely talented band members backing them up at their concerts, sometimes I think to myself that the duo could sing without any instruments and they would still sound amazing, with Shay Mooney's crisp lead vocals and Smyers' beautiful harmonies. Stay tuned for future posts when I break down a couple of a-cappella tracks they released in the past from their self-titled third album! You might remember when I broke down their a-cappella version of the Christmas classic "Silent Night" on May 25th.
In honor of it being "Throwback Thursday", I will take it all the way back to March 5, 2014 when Dan + Shay were just starting out. As part of their Warehouse Session series on YouTube, the duo posted an acoustic video of their song "What You Do To Me" from their debut album. The duo are seen in a warehouse. They are sitting on stools with Smyers playing his acoustic guitar. If you listen closely, you can hear his harmonies alongside Mooney’s vocals. Watching this video back, it is crazy that is was taken eleven years ago. Smyers and Mooney were so young, yet they sounded so mature and polished! You can see the passion in their eyes and faces during this performance!
Stay tuned for a future post about this song, breaking down its vivid lyrics and cool production along with the duo’s beautiful vocals. “What You Do To Me” is definitely one of my favorite tracks from their Where It All Began album.
Below is the acoustic video of the duo performing “What You Do To Me”! Enjoy!
