“Father, daughter. No stronger bond than singing together,” is what a top commenter said when they heard this sweet duet shared by Mat and Savanna Shaw on “The Prayer.” This was the first tune they ever sang together, and fans loved to see 18-year-old Savanna all grown up but still singing so sweetly with her pa. Savanna just sings like a bird here, while her dad has big shoes to fill when singing Andrea Bocelli’s iconic melodies. But Mat is not your average dad, because his voice will make you melt like honey.

Mat and Savanna dropped many viral performances over the years, but this one was a little different. That’s because they delivered this rendition of “The Prayer” live in concert while on tour. There was no option of a redo, unlike recording at home. Luckily, when you have a duo with this level of talent, that’s not a problem at all! The Music Man has to say Mat and Savanna’s unique rendition of “The Prayer” is just so moving.

Mat and Savanna uploaded their live concert rendition of “The Prayer” to their YouTube channel, where it hit 1.1 million views. Fans had plenty of warm words to say and added comments such as “Savanna’s voice is becoming more and more beautiful every year. She has an amazing grace on stage as well. She is an amazing young woman. Great job, Mom and Dad!” and “I’m not sure why father and daughter duets touch my heart. God bless this ministry you have.”

Now is the perfect time to revisit Mat and Savanna’s original home recording of “The Prayer,” which they uploaded back in March 2020. This was their first-ever upload, and talk about coming out of the gate strong! This duet hit a whopping 11 million views on YouTube and is still their most popular performance to this day. It’s interesting watching the clips back to back, as it shows how Savanna has developed as a vocalist over the past several years.

After finding success with their first recording of “The Prayer,” Mat and Savanna have continued to develop their music career over the last six years. They have put 23 YouTube videos on the board that drew in excess of one million streams. The Music Man has to say that’s a huge achievement for an unsigned artist. Their most popular performances include covers by classical crossover artists like Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli, as well as songs from films and musicals. The Utah duo has also issued their own original music and toured it around the US.
