DNCE Announce Debut EP “SWAAY” Out October 23

Leave a comment

DNCE exploded onto the scene as Joe Jonas’ new musical brain child with former Jonas Brothers drummer Jack Lawless, JinJoo Lee, and Cole Whittle.  Their debut single “Cake By The Ocean” had us confused until we heard it and we instantly wanted more music from this super fun electronic dance band.  And to go eat cake by the ocean.

Now, Joe and his cohorts are gearing up to release their debut EP “SWAAY” on October 23rd!   No word yet if they’ll tour the EP (they should, and soon!) but they’ll be playing several stops 2015 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour.

Watch the “Cake By The Ocean” lyric video and pickup a copy of the single on iTunes.

Dan + Shay’s “Just The Right Kind Of Crazy” Tour Hits Long Island

Leave a comment

Dan + Shay’s “Just The Right Kind Of Crazy” Tour stopped at Emporium in Patchogue, NY over the weekend.  It’s the perfect name for a tour that blends the right amount of their signature pop country harmonies and crazy on stage energy!

P1340624
Opening act Kelsea Ballerini infused lots of rock and roll energy into her pop-country sound.  Her 45 minute set included tracks from her debut album “The First Time,” including singles “Dibs” and “Love Me Like You Mean It.”  A highlight of her set was a 90s medley that included songs from *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, encouraging everyone in the crowd to dance their craziest (or in our case, break out our boyband choreography).

P1340376
Speaking of boy bands, Dan + Shay took us all back to middle school dance days with an outstanding cover of Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love To You,” complete with disco ball lighting.  The song highlighted Shay’s powerful voice and made us wonder what other 90s boy band jams we’d like to have them cover (answer: any and all of them, please.)  Their set also included some classic rock covers, from Def Leppard to Bon Jovi, and an energetic mashup of “Dynamite” and “Moves Like Jagger.”

P1340605
We love watching Dan + Shay perform because of the passion and energy they bring to each show.  You can tell they are having a blast on stage and the excitement is infectious.  The packed house was singing and moving along to every word.  The duo are also great at interacting with the crowd, pointing out and singing along with fans, even stopping to take a rose from a man in the audience without missing a note.

P1340928
Their set included nearly every song from their debut album, “Where It All Began.”  Dan + Shay mentioned they have been busy working on new music, and played fan favorite “Partner In Crime.”   We can’t wait for more music from our favorite duo!
