Following his recent first No. 1 single “Let It Rain,” David Nail will make his first appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Thursday, January 19 at 10:30 PM/CT. “So much is happening right now, it’s a little hard to take in,” says Nail, “but where I come from, people watch Jay Leno, just like they watched Johnny Carson – and this is the kinda thing that’s gonna mean something to my Mom and Dad. You know, the No. 1 after all those weeks was enough, but this is beyond anything I could’ve dreamed.”
