Dan + Shay Hit Crossing Over To Pop World

Dan + Shay’s Country radio chart-topping hit, “Tequila,” is making moves on the Adult Contemporary and Pop charts these days. The song has been a game-changer for the duo in so many ways, not the least of which is expanding their fanbase.

“Man, it’s been crazy. We’re just lucky to (have had) the support that Country radio had on that song and our fans. It’s amazing, and to see that cross over into different genres has been incredible for us. As many people that can hear the song, it only helps us, it only helps the Country genre, you know? It brings people in from the outside, and we’ve had that a lot where people are like, ‘Man, I’ve never listened to Country music but I heard your song and now I’ve discovered all these other acts.’ We’re blessed to be able to do this for a living and just to have a song get this big is just crazy for us so we’re lucky to do it.”

Dan + Shay will be headlining the upcoming Concert for Unity for the Tree of Life Synagogue at Byham Theater in Pittsburgh on Decembere 2nd. All proceeds will be donated to the rebuilding of Tree of Life Synagogue, at which 11 people were shot and killed on October 27th. Tickets are $40 and may be purchased via trustarts.org.
