Dan + Shay have sure had an amazing 2019 already with a Grammy win and several ACM Award wins under their belt including awards for both Song and Single of the Year for their big hit "Tequila."

The guys are currently on the road and are taking a studio of sorts along with them to create new music along the way.

Dan Smyers posted to Instagram, "I’m a dummy and forgot to bring a pop filter on the road, so shay had to sing slightly above the mic and soften b’s and p’s (sorry @shaymooney), but making music for you all is the dream. Lots of life left on self-titled album, but just know that we’re working our asses off on the road, and at home to elevate for the next era. Thanks for letting us do what we love, and giving us purpose. we promise to always do our best for you. #nodaysoff #ever #kindatired #butpoweringthrough

The duo play shows in Canada this week and then in May hit the road as part of Florida Georgia Line's "Can't Say I Ain't Country" tour.
