“This is basically the coolest thing ever,” shared Bryan. “Honestly I’m not sure that it’s going to sink in that I’m touring with Dan + Shay until I’m up on stage on the first night. I’m seriously so stoked to go on my first tour with my label mates and I’m so grateful for this opportunity. I’m just gonna try to take in every single moment and not mess up!”
