About

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.

    Chameleon Club was one of the most unorganized venues I've ever been too....but that didn't take away from how awesome Sonia Leigh and David Nail were! Only disappointment was that David didn't do "Turning Home"

    Loved this Concert

    by Mainebuttahfly on 12/10/11Royale Boston - Boston

    Opening act Sonia Leigh was amazing... She is definitely someone to watch. Unfortunately, we had to leave before David Nail came onto stage but we hear he was also fantastic.

    Better than the radio

    by Megs86 on 10/9/11Tingley Coliseum - Albuquerque

    David Nail put on a fantastic show in Albuquerque despite the small crowd gathered. He is an incredible blend of country with a smooth, almost jazzy touch. He sang his classics and sounded even better than they do on the radio! Also did some great covers, including music like Gavin DeGraw, which was a nice treat. Great performer- enjoyed this low-key, sit-back-and-enjoy-the-evening, relaxed kind of show.

    Awesome musicians! Not very country, a different venue would have been better for him like a lounge, more intimate setting.

    DN Rocks; but 8 Seconds needs help

    by LaneLewis on 5/9/118 Seconds Saloon - Indianapolis

    Bottom Line, David Nail is a great artist!!! However, 8 Seconds needs some help. I'm not sure if it's the acoustics or just the crowd, but the ambient crowd noise is too loud. We saw a show there a few months back and the crowd was so loud that you couldn't understand the artist talking between songs.... This time we picked front row seats, thinking it would alleviate the crowd noise. Much to our dismay, it didn't. The PA was over / behind us, so the vocals weren't great...and the crowd was still loud enough that it made me feel bad for the artist. DN is a Nationally Ranked artist, he doesn't deserve to be treated like some trying-to-get-to-Nashville-wanna-be in a shotty old Honky Tonk... I love the small venue and I love the idea of 8 Seconds, but I'm not likely going to go back to a show until I know something has been done to solve this issue. Either raise the ticket prices so that everybody there made a conscious decision to see the show...or install some sound dampers so that the dancehall crowd noise doesn't travel back up towards the stage....

    David Nail is Amazing -- 8 Seconds is not...

    by LaneLewis on 5/9/118 Seconds Saloon - Indianapolis

    David Nail = AMAZING! David Nail is a great artist with an awesome bluesy, soulful voice. His music moves me deeply. If i only had one word it would me amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend going to see him! He is worth every penny and more....but don't go to 8 seconds! The venue sucks. The people there do not care about the person on stage. They would rather smoke and ride the electrical bull. I actually felt very bad for him b/c there was probably only 50 people actually listening to him.

    David Nail was awsome! This was the second time I had seen him, the first was in 2010 at the Blue Note in Columbia. That show as awsome too however the thing that stood out in my mind was the crowd size this time around. In 2010 there were maybe 200 people at the show in 2011 I would guess the show was sold out of close to it. It was good to see his fan base had grown because he is very talented and a good performer.

    David Nail...another great show!

    by CapeCodJ on 1/25/11Showcase Live - Foxboro

    This was the 2nd time I have seen David Nail- both times at Showcase Live in Foxboro. He sounds great live....no difference really between that and his records. Love how he connects so easily with us "northeners" and seems to appreciate the fact that we are big country fans! I couldn't help thinking that he's going to become to big of an act to play such an intimate show. I'm glad I got to see him before that happens!

    David Nail doesn't disappoint

    by Vacshll on 1/23/11Showcase Live - Foxboro

    I've seen David Nail now 3 times and the man doesn't disappoint...he's charismatic and his voice is on it every time. His music is labeled as country, but if you see him live he mixes funk, soul and jazz sounds with his country...and he really has something for everyone. It's obvious the crowd loves him at the show. He feeds off the crowd and it shows. I can't stress it enough...he's fabulous.
