#SnapshotSaturday featuring the Smyers' family and their dogs on the road

When Dan + Shay are on out on the road playing concerts all over the country, Dan Smyers' wife Abby and their four rescue dogs will occasionally join him and Shay Mooney on the tour bus for a slew of dates. 

Now that the duo mostly headline concert tours in arenas and amphitheaters, this means they typically are playing shows Thursday through Sunday. Early on in their careers through 2019, the guys would play at smaller venues and their shows would be on any day during the week or weekend. During those years, they would be gone on tour for a longer period of time before heading back home to Nashville for a break. I cannot even imagine what it is like being the spouse of a traveling artist and not seeing your significant other in person for long stretches of time.

When the duo embarked on their Heartbreak On The Map Tour playing arenas all over the United States in 2024, Abby and their rescue dogs joined Smyers on some of the stops, one of them at the Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center in Knoxville, TN on March 17, 2024. Sometimes she planned to be on the road with the guys, but other times that was not the case. Dan posted a few pictures on his personal Instagram account that day, looking very happy to see his wife in each one. 

"A surprise visit from my girls🍓," Smyers captioned the post.
