David Nail is extending his “Down To The Studs Acoustic Tour” through the fall with a run of new dates through Nov. 15.

The “Down To The Studs Tour” will visit Buffalo, Ann Arbor, New Orleans, Louisville, Kansas City, Memphis and many more cities, with a Nashville stop at the Basement East set for Aug. 29. Tickets to all shows are on sale now.

The tour reflects a season of creative reinvention for the singer-songwriter, offering fans an unfiltered look at the music, stories, and life experiences that have shaped both his career and his forthcoming album Flowers, set for release on Aug. 21. 

“I was so excited to embark on the shows this spring, but as I made the first trip up towards the Northeast, I questioned whether I could pull it off,” says Nail. “Would the crowd know exactly what they were coming to hear? Not only were the crowds great, but the entire process has renewed the passion I felt when I first began touring. It’s certainly not anything new, but it’s new to me, and I think it’s hopefully shown a side of me that no matter how many shows you’ve been to in the past, you really felt the connection that you’ll get here.”

After building a respected career in Nashville with albums such as I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound of a Million Dreams, I’m A Fire, and Fighter, Nail stepped into an independent chapter that prioritized honesty over expectations. Recent projects such as Oh, Mother, the Bootheel releases, and 2023’s Best of Me reflect a more organic, reflective approach, with songs centered on family, memory, mental health, and the hard-earned perspective that comes with experience. In 2026, Nail continues that evolution with his new songs “The Crown,” “Fare Thee Well,” “She Knows,” and his upcoming new album.
