David Nail Celebrates No. 1 Song

Newcomer, David Nail, is still in shock from his number one hit song, "Let it Rain". He celebrates his hit with a party at the Nashville Offices of performance rights organization ASCAP. David still has a hard time realizing that his song is a number one hit. Along with his other 2009 hit "Red Light", David feels completely blessed for coming so far. He has toured with Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum.

He is now on tour with pop singer Gavin DeGraw. David comments on the tour, saying, "I'm a huge Gavin fan and have been since his very first record. We've covered one of his songs in our show off and on for a couple of years now. It seems like he has a strong appreciation for Nashville and for our format here. It's funny, for the last six to 12 months, I would hear people comment on 'How come a country act doesn't [tour] with a pop act?' or vice versa and I always thought in the back of my mind that, given the opportunity, that that would be a cool thing. What better way to bring country listeners to Gavin DeGraw and pop listeners who have never really entertained the thought of country music [to country]? Hopefully we can do that together. At the end of the day, hopefully, we can kind of convert some people over, to not just me, but to recognize that there's a whole host of artists over here that they should pay attention to."

I am a big country fan, and I love that when my cell phone goes off, it plays "Let it Rain" by David Nail. My friend and I enjoy going to the B-93 Birthday Bash in the summer because it is a concert specifically for new coming artist to be heard. Though we have never heard David Nail there, we have seen The Band Perry, the Jane Dear Girls, and Eric Church. I love listening to new country artist to see how there songs compare to artist that have been in the business for most of my lifetime. Being a big Rascal Flatts fan, I love listening for different sounds and instruments the artist experiment with in their music. I also enjoy listening to Taylor Swift. Taylor, being closer to age with me, is an inspirational singer that most teenage girls look up to as a role model. I also love the fact that so many people have come to country music through her so they can hear the great music of this genre, like David Nail. I am so happy that David can gain the title of having a number one song. His song "Let is Rain" and "Red Light", from 2009, are some of my favorite songs, and I am very excited to hear his next number one hit.
