David Nail really likes to perform in small intimate venues, such as the Grand Ole Opry. His music is almost country but not quite. So even if you are not a fan of country music, you will probably love David Nail. He keeps his concerts simple and just lets the power of his voice take over.
His style of music is like country meets hipster. He plays his guitar and sings with a little twang, while dressed in hipster clothes with a band member playing a grand piano in the background.He really takes ahold of your heart when you hear him sing. Female fans really love him because he is nice to look at. This means you will usually find lots of love-struck young females in the audience. The setting is usually very mellow and you will not see lots of lighting or props. This is okay because the music is so good.
David nail is at his best when he is performing live in a small setting. He can capture the attention of his audience with his thoughtful lyrics. People can relate to his words and small town attitude. It is a casual performance that will relax and entertain you!
