The Harper family must have music hiding in their water pipes! We already know that Hannah Harper just won American Idol Season 24 with her incredible voice.
But now, her brother Dalton Harper is making a massive splash online all by himself. Dalton usually stands quietly on stage playing guitar in Hannah’s band, but he recently stepped up to the microphone to sing a classic country song, and it completely blew people away.
Dalton posted a video singing “That’s The Way Love Goes” by the legendary Merle Haggard. Because he used a hashtag calling himself “Hannah Harper’s brother,” some internet critics grumbled that he was just trying to use his sister’s new fame to get views.

Fans fell head over heels for Dalton’s smooth, old-school country voice. One fan asked excitedly why Dalton didn’t audition for American Idol, too, promising they would buy his album right now! Another fan said his haunting voice sounds like a mix of country kings like Keith Whitley and Randy Travis.
People are even begging him to try out for America’s Got Talent next.
All this buzz around the talented siblings brings us back to the original song that started the family’s wild journey.
