David Nail

Country singer-songwriter David Nail performed as a teen in various one-off groups with his father, who was the band director at his high school. ∙ Nail’s singing was influenced by Elton John’s way with melody, but it was Glen Campbell’s songs that made him want to pursue a country music career. ∙ His first No. 1 single, 2011’s “Let It Rain,” was inspired by a scene in the Zach Braff movie The Last Kiss. ∙ The double-Platinum “Whatever She’s Got” earned Nail his second No. 1 Country hit, which crossed over into the Top 40 of the Pop charts. ∙ In 2011, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for Male Country Vocal Performance for his single “Turning Home.” ∙ After a decade as a solo artist, he decided on a career change and formed the band David Nail and The Well Ravens.
