The Soho Sessions
heads back to the Hamptons this summer with three-time
Grammy Award-winning duo Dan + Shay taking the stage at the
legendary Stephen Talkhouse on July 9, 2026. Best known for
its invitation-only performances in New York City’s SoHo
neighborhood, the acclaimed music series makes its annual
Hamptons stop with a special public event, giving fans the
chance to experience Dan + Shay in one of the East End’s
most celebrated live music venues.
Since emerging as
one of the genre’s defining acts, three-time Grammy
Award-winning duo Dan + Shay have built one of country
music’s most successful careers, earning multiple No. 1 hits
including “Tequila,” “Speechless,” “10,000 Hours” with
Justin Bieber, and “Save Me the Trouble.” With more than 14
billion streams worldwide and a devoted fanbase, Dan Smyers
and Shay Mooney have become one of the most influential duos
in contemporary country music.
Over the course of
their 13-year career, Dan + Shay have earned 11 No. 1
singles at country radio and collected multiple Grammy, ACM,
CMA, American Music, Billboard Music, and People’s Choice
Country Awards. In 2024, they became the first duo to serve
as coaches on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning series The Voice,
further cementing their status as one of country music’s
most successful and recognizable acts.
The July 9
performance comes just weeks before the release of their
sixth studio album, Young, arriving August 21, and ahead of
The Young Tour, which launches this fall with 26 headlining
dates across North America. Described as a personal snapshot
of the duo’s lives, the album finds Dan + Shay reflecting on
family, faith, and following their dreams while exploring
themes of growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Young also
features the powerful lead single “Say So,” a song centered
on hope, connection, and showing up for those who may be
struggling. The intimate show at Stephen Talkhouse offers a
rare opportunity to experience Dan + Shay up close before
they return to arenas across North America this fall.
This special evening
will support NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness,
the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization
dedicated to building better lives for the millions of
Americans affected by mental illness through education,
support, advocacy, and efforts to raise awareness and reduce
stigma.
This Hamptons
edition of The Soho Sessions is sponsored by The FLAG Art
Foundation, a New York City-based nonprofit exhibition space
that mounts thematic contemporary art exhibitions centering
on emerging and established artists from around the globe.
FLAG was founded 18 years ago by investor and
philanthropists Glenn and Amanda Fuhrman.

This summer’s
performance marks a return to Stephen Talkhouse for another
special Hamptons gathering, bringing one of country music’s
most celebrated duos to the venue’s famously intimate stage.
For an act accustomed to performing in arenas and
amphitheaters, the Talkhouse setting offers a rare
opportunity for fans to experience Dan + Shay up close in a
room that has long been a favorite stop for artists and
music lovers alike.
“The Talkhouse is
part of the fabric of the Hamptons,” said Williamson. “I
grew up here, and some of my earliest memories of live music
happened in that room. Every year, bringing The Soho
Sessions to Amagansett feels incredibly personal because
it’s an opportunity to create something special in a
community that’s meant so much to me. We’re excited to
welcome Dan + Shay to the Talkhouse for what promises to be
a truly memorable evening.
“The Soho Sessions
has always been about creating moments that bring people
together through music,” said Rechter. “Dan + Shay have
built a remarkable connection with audiences through their
songwriting, their performances, and the honesty they bring
to their work. We’re excited to welcome them to the
Talkhouse for a special evening that celebrates great music
while shining a light on a cause that matters.”
