Two of Nashville’s most soul-baring songwriters are hitting the road together — no big lights, no big band, just guitars, stories, and songs that hit where it counts. GRAMMY-nominated artists David Nail and Will Hoge have announced An Evening With David Nail and Will Hoge, a seven-city co-headlining run of intimate rooms across the Southeast in late 2026. Tickets are on sale now at DavidNail.com and WillHoge.com.

If you’ve spent any real time with either of these catalogs, you know the pitch practically writes itself. Nail’s voice can level a room in a single verse, and Hoge has been quietly (and sometimes very loudly) shaping modern Americana for the better part of two decades. Put them on the same stage in a listening room, and you’re looking at the kind of night people talk about for years — the kind where the between-song banter is almost as good as the songs themselves.

Fans can expect stripped-down performances, storytelling, and intimate renditions of career favorites alongside brand-new material. Nail is fresh off a run of new songs — “The Crown,” “Fare Thee Well,” and “She Knows” — and is gearing up to release Flowers, his first full-length album in over a decade, on August 21. Hoge, meanwhile, is riding the momentum of his fifteenth studio album, Sweet Misery, a loud, hooky, windows-down rock-and-roll record he released on August 22.

David Nail, a 3x platinum singer-songwriter from Kennett, Missouri, is known for career-defining hits like “Let It Rain,” “Whatever She’s Got,” and “Red Light,” along with more than a billion streams on Pandora and a catalog of albums that includes I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound of a Million Dreams, and Fighter. In recent years, he’s moved into a more independent, reflective chapter — Oh, Mother, the Bootheel releases, 2023’s Best of Me, and the ongoing solo “Down To The Studs Tour” — that puts songwriting and honesty first.

Will Hoge, a GRAMMY nominee and No. 1 hitmaker, has spent his career helping to define what modern Americana sounds like, long before the genre had its own Grammy category. On Sweet Misery, he leans back into big choruses and rock-and-roll swagger with a band assembled specifically to bring the songs to life. In his own words: “Good stories, big choruses, shit to make you play it loud and drive fast with the windows down.”
