Hold onto your cowboy hats, Q107.5 listeners! Grammy-winning duo Dan + Shay are kicking off what might be their biggest era yet. The country-pop sensations just announced they’ve signed with The Core Entertainment for management, joining an impressive roster that includes rising star Bailey Zimmerman and rock legends Nickelback. This power move comes at what feels like peak Dan + Shay momentum, proving these hitmakers are just getting warmed up.
So what made Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney choose The Core Entertainment? In their own words, they were totally drawn to the team’s ‘music-first mentality’ and genuinely believe ‘the best is yet to come.’ And honestly, with their track record? We believe them too! These guys aren’t just chasing trends—they’re creating timeless music that blends country storytelling with pop perfection, and this new partnership seems like the perfect fit to take their sound to even greater heights.
Memphis knows a thing or two about musical evolution, and Dan + Shay’s journey feels right at home here. From their eight Country Airplay #1 hits to that massive Justin Bieber collab ‘10,000 Hours’ that took over the charts, they’ve shown they can cross genres while staying true to their roots. Their recent viral cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘Back to December’ and new holiday track ‘Long Live Christmas’ prove they’re not afraid to mix it up—something our musically diverse city totally appreciates!
