Dan Smyers Won’t Let Anyone Else Mow His Nashville Lawn

Dan Smyers is a guy who likes to mow his lawn no matter how much money he has in the bank. Dan shared a series of photos of him mowing his beloved lawn in Nashville on his Insta stories.

He wrote over a photo of his mower doing its job, “Went on tour for two weeks and I’m too cheap/stubborn to pay someone to cut the grass. And I’ve got my work cut out for me. (got double cut).”

Then he shared a video of him mowing the lawn, and his wife Abby captioned the video, “Jeans and no shoes, we’ve lost him.”

In a final lawn picture, Dan showed the high grass in which he wrote, ‘This is treacherous.”

Dan + Shay’s next concert date is Thursday (9/23) in Kentucky.
