Why Don't We, Snoop Dogg Added to State Fair Stage Acts

Fair organzers say, "A band like no other on the pop landscape, Why Don't We brings together five supremely talented singer/songwriters who have each built a passionate following all on their own. After crossing paths through a series of national tours in recent years, Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais, and Jack Avery decided to join together and deepen their powerful connection with fans around the world. As shown on their debut single "Taking You," the group’s potent chemistry makes for undeniable pop perfection. Now at work on their debut album, Why Don't We are also set to deliver an unstoppable live show that's destined to expand their audience all across the globe.
