David Nail shifts his entire career trajectory this year by launching the “Down to the Studs Tour” across North America. This solo trek features Nail traveling with just a guitar and his songs, removing the traditional band and road crew setup. The journey reflects a bold move to reset his musical path after a challenging 2025. By returning to a raw and honest format, he creates space for genuine human moments and unscripted storytelling in intimate rooms. This specific approach highlights his powerful vocals and songwriting without any external frills or industry filters.
The itinerary begins on January 17 at The Amp at Log Still Distillery in Kentucky and moves through major Northeast markets including Boston, Pittsburgh, and Portland. This tour offers a rare opportunity to see a Grammy nominated artist in settings like the Boulton Center For The Performing Arts and City Winery. The performance style allows for a deeper connection between the songwriter and the listener as they share laughs and stories together. Witnessing these songs in such a stripped back environment is a stunning testament to his enduring talent. Tickets for these dates go on sale Friday, January 16 at 10 a.m. CST via his official website.
