“This Campfire Christmas EP + tour is the brainchild of my wife Catherine, who has begged me to do a Christmas project for several years. After sitting in at a party she threw, and singing a couple of these songs broken down acoustic like you’ll hear on the EP, I suddenly felt that fate had lined up for us to finally give her wish,” said David Nail.
The five-track EP is the perfect soundtrack for everyone’s holiday season. Cozy up with festive favorites like “Silver Bells” and “White Christmas.” Gather around a campfire and sing along with Nail to “Silent Night” as you sip hot cocoa under twinkling holiday lights. The EP is guaranteed to make your holidays merry and bright.
Tickets are on sale now for A Campfire Christmas Tour. Nail will embark on a 13-city tour, creating a festive and intimate setting designed to transport audiences around a campfire as he performs the Christmas classics from the EP, alongside his well-known and timeless songs like "Let It Rain," "Red Light," and "Nights on Fire."
