Dan + Shay Give Acoustic Performance Of “Nothin’ Like You” On March 25, 2015 In Front Of Small Audience

Early on in their careers, Dan + Shay did some acoustic performances that drew me in. There were a few of them that I watched on repeat, including a performance of  “Nothin’ Like You” at Skype Live Studio (now PNC Live Studio) in Portland, Oregon. Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney performed what would be their first number one radio hit later that year to a small audience that was presented by country station 98.7 The Bull. The duo would go on to perform some of the other songs from their debut album Where It All Began. 

With Smyers playing his acoustic guitar, showcasing his harmonies and Mooney singing lead vocals, the performance of “Nothin’ Like You” was nothing but flawless and smooth to me. The Natural Dam, Arkansas native (Mooney) told the song’s story with his beautiful vocals while the Wexford, Pennsylvania native (Smyers) had a chance for his harmonies to shine. If you listen very closely, you can hear his voice! While both guys are two completely different people overall, they happen to be best friends. Plus, their voices blend incredibly well together and they work well with one another, whether it is writing songs, doing work in the studio, or performing live on stage. And this performance is just one example of that! This is one of my absolute favorite clips of them performing acoustically early on!
