NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Country music duo Dan+Shay surprised fans Thursday afternoon just hours before their hometown show at Bridgestone Arena.
The pair is currently on their “The Heartbreak on the Map” tour and serving as judges of Season 25 of The Voice. They are the first coach duo on the show. Eight episodes have already aired as they enter Week 2 of Battle Rounds Monday, March 25. Live shows of The Voice begin in May.
“Something special about The Voice is that you truly are going on just their voice and the way they can move you - you know, without actually seeing someone,” says Shay Mooney, lead vocalist of Dan+Shay.
The pair took the stage at Ole Red bar on Broadway to greet fans and also take a surprise video phone call from Voice veteran and Ole Red owner Blake Shelton. The crowd gasped and cheered when Shelton appeared on the big screen.
“We’re seeing things from a different perspective right now. We don’t ‘have to’ go play a show, we don’t ‘have to’ go on tour, we ‘get to go do these things,’ and I feel like we’ve taken that perspective to The Voice,” shared Dan Smyers in an exclusive interview with WSMV4′s Lauren Lowrey. “We have the power with this little button to potentially make someone’s dreams come true, and that’s awesome!”
The exact chairs used for the show are on display from March 20-22 at Ole Red in downtown Nashville.
“I can genuinely say I’ve never had this much fun touring,” remarked Mooney.
