COUNTRY MUSIC STAR DAVID NAIL TO PERFORM ON SUNDAY, JUNE 3
AT THE CHEVROLET DETROIT GRAND PRIX PRESENTED BY LEAR

 

DETROIT, Mich. (March 30, 2018) – Grammy-nominated country music artist David Nail will perform on the 96-3 WDVD/NASH FM 93-1 Entertainment Stage in a Sunday afternoon matinee concert on June 3 at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear.

Nail will bring one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in country music along with a blend of Mississippi-delta sounds to the Raceway at Belle Isle Park just prior to the final Verizon IndyCar Series race of the action-packed Grand Prix weekend. All Sunday Grand Prix ticket holders can enjoy the concert and all June 3 performances on the 96-3 WDVD/NASH FM 93-1 Entertainment Stage, located in the Meijer Fan Zone, at no additional cost.

Nail has produced a pair of No. 1 hit singles on the country charts including “Let it Rain” and “Whatever She’s Got.” He released his first of four studio albums in 2009 – I’m About to Come Alive – which peaked at number 19 on the US Country Music charts while the song “Red Light” became his first top-10 single. “Let it Rain” was Nail’s top hit off of his second album The Sound of a Million Dreams – which reached as high as number eight on the US Country charts. Nail’s most recent albums – I’m a Fire and Fighter – both reached number three on the US Country charts. Rolling Stone Country named Nail’s I’m a Fire tour as one of the “must-see concert tours” and Nail has toured with some of country music’s biggest superstars including Taylor Swift, Darius Rucker, Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, Sugarland, Gavin DeGraw and Kenny Chesney.

“We are excited to host David Nail at the Grand Prix and welcome an established country music star to the 96-3 WDVD/NASH FM 93-1 Stage on Sunday, June 3rd,” said Bud Denker, Chairman of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. “Our fans will love David Nail’s energy and his powerful matinee performance will help set the stage for what promises to be a very exciting final afternoon of the Grand Prix weekend.”
