A country pair that started with online chemistry and built a catalog of earnest, melodic songs.
For a sense of their range, listen to the straightforward country-pop of 'Tequila' and then the more atmospheric 'Streetlamp.' They're good at both.
They're one of those acts that quietly built a solid body of work. 'Tequila' became a genuine radio staple, and having Justin Bieber on '10,000 Hours' in 2019 showed they could land a major pop crossover moment. Their songs like 'Superheroes' and 'Six Words' have a direct, unadorned quality that connects.
Daniel Smyers and Shay Mooney started working together in 2016 after Smyers saw Mooney performing online. Early material like 'Holding On' and 'One' led to their debut album '145' in 2014, then a self-titled album in 2018, and later projects like 'Can't Slow Down' in 2021.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
