David Nail |
David Nail, nominee for the single record of the year, for his song “Red Light” will perform at the 2010 Clark County Fair. Saturday, July 24, 7 pm, in the Big Tent, David will entertain the fair goers with his own brand of country music. Nail, son of a former high school band director, cut his musical teeth on a record collection that included Stevie Wonder, Elton John and the Beatles. “Elton John was one of the main reasons I started singing, and is still a tremendous influence,” he says. “I think he and the Beatles are probably two of the greatest melody makers of all time.” Then he moved on to country: “I ‘discovered’ country music in the early 90’s along with everyone else my age,” he says. “But I guess I kind of got more obsessive than everybody else. I found myself looking back as far as the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, exposing myself to some of the biggest stars of that era. It was then that I fell in love with Glen Campbell, who is still one of my all-time favorites.” From the first listen, Nail realized an affinity for single “Red Light” and the catchy “Summer Job Days”, co-written by Rascal Flatt’s Gary LeVox, both of which he was drawn to in a way all his own. “’Red Light’ shows a different perspective of a break up,” he says. “It’s not your typical situation since it describes a beautiful day and everything seeming to be perfect, but that’s what makes it unique.” |

the gospel of the Lord to it’s expanding audience. The power of the Lord
is reflected in the remarkable songs created by talented front man Rich

8pmGene Bowshier |
"Most people don't believe me, when I tell them I
was very shy at a younger age," because of his high energy shows
today. Considering himself not only shy but very awkward, staying home
most of the time until he was sixteen, then all of a sudden he came out
of his shell and lost his shyness. While out with some friends, they
encouraged Gene to get up and sing, and the response he received
reminded him of how people responded to his father. That same feeling
keeps Gene performing still today!
