On Nov. 1, 2024, hit singer-songwriter David Nail released his first holiday-themed project, “A Campfire Christmas.” The EP (extended play) record is shorter than a full-length album and features five popular tunes like “White Christmas” and “Silver Bells.” Now, the country artist is set to embark on a tour showcasing the music from this holiday release.

Nail sounds right at home singing some of America’s favorite carols. But he never thought he’d put out a Christmas record despite his wife Catherine asking him to over the years. However, an impromptu jam session made him realize something. If he was able to record Christmas songs in his own way—with acoustic instrumentation and a laid-back feel—he’d be able to turn his wife’s request into a reality and spread a little Christmas cheer in the process.
