David Nail grew up in a small town in Missouri, the son of a former high school band director whose musical collection included Stevie Wonder, Elton John and the Beatles. Nail turned to country in the 1990s, then started going back into its history and became a big fan of Glen Campbell. He moved to Nashville right after high school but returned to Missouri after a year. Two years later, he gave Nashville another try. He completed an album for Mercury Records, but it was not released. After taking a break from the music business to help coach a baseball team, he was introduced to music publisher and producer Frank Liddell. Their musical partnership led Nail to sign another record deal with MCA Nashville. His MCA album, I'm About to Come Alive, is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2009.

The event started almost 2 hours late and the sound quality was awful. Love the artist, but couldn't make out the vocals. Not sure if it was the venue or the sound board technician.
I love David Nail! He puts his whole being into his show each time I see him. Such a great singer, songwriter! Indy loves David Nail!!!
David's voice is still amazing. Enjoyed all his songs and particularly loved hearing his hits that played on the top of the radio charts. If he comes back, I would definitely come back!
I really like 8 Seconds as a Venue. There's plenty of space, easy access to bars & restrooms, fun layout, tons of parking, and friendly staff. The issue is the sound. The background noise overtook everything - the vocals and the actual music. I know this artist very well and I struggled to know what songs he was even playing, let alone hear any of the vocals. I love live music, so I am fully aware of how loud concerts are, but this was Ear-Piercingly loud -in a way I haven't experienced at any other venue I've been to, tiny to large, Indoor to Outdoor. I am genuinely surprised that the sound team for the artist, or the venue staff, didn't notice this right away and make adjustments. If 8 Seconds is going to successfully moonlight as a concert venue, this portion is probably one of the most important. The point of seeing an artist live is to hear their music and vocals in their true form, and I don't even feel like I got to see David Nail. Extremely sad about this and genuinely struggling to purchase tickets to the next artists playing here that I want to see. I do want to note that the opener, Jacob Tolliver, had great sound - truly enjoyed hearing him live - so I was really sad that the main show turned out the way it did. PLEASE look into better speaker placement, echo absorbtion options, and sound staff that walk around the venue to ensure the sound is good all around, rather than just the sound booth that is strategically placed in the only area that likely had good sound.
Lively crowd but the acoustics were needing improvement. Too much bass and couldn't understand David when he was speaking.
We drove 5 hours to see the concert because David Nail doesn't play in our area. I enjoyed every minute. He has touched my soul since his first EP. I'd drive twice as many miles to see him again.
This was by far my favorite David Nail concert! He was so personable and in a great mood. Played all of my favorites. Can't wait to see him again!
David Nail has an incredible voice and is backed by an amazing band. I’m surprised he hasn’t risen even higher on the charts yet, I will definitely go see him again!
I have seen David open for a few people and was so glad to see he was coming close to home. Tickets were reasonable. His voice was amazing and his stories tied in well. It was a great night out!
David Nail is the ultimate singer writer and singer. Don’t ever pass up an opportunity to see him!
