Dan + Shay Kick Off Tour With Donation
Dan + Shay kick off their headlining Dan + Shay The (Arena) Tour on Friday, March 6th with back-to-back sold-out shows in Nashville, but their hearts are heavy.
In the wake of the devastating tornadoes that wreaked havoc on the city on Tuesday, March 3rd, the duo has decided to donate $100,000 to relief efforts.
They issued a statement saying,
“We are heartbroken by the devastation the tornadoes left upon Tennessee earlier this week. Our love goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy. We are so proud to call Nashville our home, and have seen first hand that this community is strong, resilient, and compassionate. What this town does best in times of need, is come together, so it is only fitting that our tour starts . . . in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena. Friday and Saturday, through the power of music, we will all unite to celebrate the spirit of our incredible city. On behalf of Dan + Shay, we will be making a $100,000 donation to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. We are looking forward to two unforgettable shows, in the town we hold dearest to our hearts.”
Dan + Shay are among the most nominated artists for the Academy of Country Music Awards, which include a nod for Duo of the Year, Video of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Song of the Year for their global hit single “10,000 Hours” (with Justin Bieber). The ACM Awards will be held in Las Vegas on April 5th.
