Two classic weather-related anthems are made new when combined into this amazing father-daughter duet to “Here Comes the Sun” and “I Can See Clearly Now,” and it’s a performance sure to brighten any day!
Mat and Savanna come to us from their home in Kaysville, Utah, where Savanna, in an effort to stay connected with her choir friends during the COVID-19 pandemic, set up an Instagram account—her first social media account. In the 2.5 years since they posted their very first duet in February 2020, they have recorded four albums and earned 600,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel. These two are on fire!
Mat and Savanna record songs that are uplifting and encouraging to listeners, but it’s not merely the lyrics that make their fans feel good! This father-daughter pair are abundantly talented, and their ability to harmonize together is remarkable!
Enjoy this unique rendering of the two well-known hits by The Beatles and Johnny Nash, recorded originally in 1969 and 1972, respectively. The arrangement here is pure perfection and the work of Stephen Nelson. There are several surprises along the way that make the classics even better than remembered! Pay particular attention at: 50 seconds, 2.0 minutes, 2:35 minutes, and 3.28 minutes. Mat and Savanna’s vocal gifts are on full display, their rich, pure voices blending wonderfully!
While the view outside the massive windows indicate an overcast sky and a lot of wind, Matt, 41, and Savanna, 17, deliver nothing but “bright skies.” Their smiles and stunningly beautiful voices are cloud chasers for sure. In addition, Mat and Savanna chose to use their talent to support charities. Among those organizations was the Utah Food Bank, which was struggling to meet the needs at the height of the pandemic.
Matt and his wife Brooke have four children; Savanna is the eldest of the four. She looks just a bit like her daddy, doesn’t she! There wasn’t much good to say about COVID-19, but God doesn’t make mistakes. And, one amazing gift that the crisis gave the world was Mat and Savanna Shaw—a father-daughter duet with tons of talent and great big hearts!
