Dan + Shay release a new Christmas song
The song follows their previously-released holiday song "Take Me Home For Christmas," both produced by Dan Smyers.
"'Christmas Isn't Christmas' is very special to us," said Shay Mooney. "We wrote this song with our families in mind. We are definitely reminded around the holiday season how important it is to have those people that you love around you. Christmas really isn't Christmas if you don't have the people that you love around you."
Last week, Dan + Shay released the family-filled music video for "Take Me Home For Christmas," directed by Patrick Tracy. The duo will bring the new holiday tracks to several TV stages in the upcoming months including ABC's CMA Country Christmas and NBC's Christmas In Rockefeller Center.
The duo's current single is "I Should Probably Go To Bed."

Their fourth studio album, "Good Things," is a feather light 12-song cruise suitable for multiple radio formats from adult contemporary to pop and even country, though that feels like a stretch.
Each song was co-written and produced by Dan Smyers while Shay Mooney put his pen to eight tracks. One look at the credits, and you'll know which direction it will be headed. ...
The track list on Dan +Shay's self-titled third album has a song crediting Kelly Clarkson as a featured vocalist. Upon a full listen, you will think they forgot about a few others. The disc features the duo's contemporary sound that mirrors many artists in the genre. The lead-off track, "Alone Together," evokes Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox and is half of the only seven minutes on the tidy 35-minute collection that represent anything near up-tempo.
The duo puts the ballads on ...
Dan Myers and James Shay Mooney came from different parts of the country (Allegheny County, Pa. and Arkansas, respectively) and met in Nashville where each was tracking the well-worn path to country music success. They began writing songs together a little over three years ago, already have a hit album ("Where It All Began") and now have another tiger by the tail.
Dan + Shay know a hook, can write songs and have identified a sweet spot in the formula of country music success. ...
