NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 10, 2026) – Renowned singer/songwriter David Nail recruited a longtime favorite collaborator, GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Lori McKenna, for his newest release “Riverbank,” available now.

“Riverbank” is one of the most personal songs David has released to date. Co-written with McKenna and the song’s producer Anderson East, the track reflects on enduring love and his gratitude for his wife, Catherine, capturing the depth of their relationship through honest, emotional storytelling. David has described this as one of the most meaningful songs in his catalog.
“People always ask, ‘What’s your favorite song?’ or something along those lines. I’ve honestly never had one, or at least beyond a week or two; they all mean so much. I’ve also never been one to think much about legacy, or what, if anything, people will remember me by. But this song came at a time in my life when a lot had changed, both personally and professionally. I think that when this song was written, and when I first began to sing it live or play it for friends, I’d changed as a man, and my life had changed, and with that, I began to think about what I’ve done and what I still hope to do. If I’m ever remembered for anything, I hope it’s this song!” said David Nail.
“This song is so special to me. Special because I got to write it with David and Anderson – who I love and respect so much – but also because the song was such a big presence in the room that night,” said Lori McKenna.
If life was a riverbank
Mine would take the shape of you
Only spelling out your name
Always moving night and day
Even when the years wash it away
My love remains
The song has already received early praise:
“Soothing, sensuous and soft, this ballad of enduring love lingers long after the final notes echo away. Nail has always been an exquisite country voice. Co-writer McKenna provides gentle harmony on the poetic choruses.” – Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine
David’s recent releases, “The Crown,” “Fare Thee Well,” and “She Knows,” have garnered strong praise from Rolling Stone, Music Row Magazine, Country Central, Buddy Magazine, and more. Many reviewers noted that he continues to create some of his most authentic and compelling music to date. With this new track, he continues forging his own path, delivering some of his strongest music to date. These singles offer listeners just a preview of what’s to come on his upcoming album.
After an incredibly successful Spring run, David is beyond excited to head back on the road this Fall for his intimate Down To The Studs acoustic tour, which saw him playing smaller venues across the U.S. These very special shows were designed to offer audiences a stripped-down experience, just a guitar, the stories behind the songs, and David’s unmistakable voice. Additionally, David will join GRAMMY-nominated Will Hoge for eight shows later this year. All tickets on sale at DavidNail.com.

About David Nail
David Nail is a 3x platinum singer-songwriter from Kennett, Missouri, known for his deeply personal songwriting and unmistakable vocal prowess. With GRAMMY and ACM nominations, he has scored multiple No. 1 hits, including “Let It Rain” and “Whatever She’s Got,” as well as standout favorites like “Red Light.” His success has earned 5 RIAA certifications, three charted albums in Top 10 on the Billboard Charts, more than 1 billion streams on Pandora, and a reputation for delivering songs that resonate long after the last note fades. After building a respected career in Nashville with albums such as I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound of a Million Dreams, Only This and Nothing More, I’m A Fire, and Fighter, Nail stepped into a more independent chapter that prioritized honesty over expectations. Nail has steadily been releasing singles since 2024 with, “If I Could Call,” “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers, “Hotel Keys,” and “Pacing The Cage,” which was featured in Vanity Fair’s documentary “Take No Prisoners.” Recent projects such as Oh, Mother, the Bootheel releases, and 2023’s Best of Me reflect a more organic, reflective approach, with songs centered on family, memory, mental health, and the hard-earned perspective that comes with experience.
In 2026, Nail continued that evolution with his new songs “The Crown,” “Fare Thee Well,”“She Knows,” and is set to release his first album in over a decade Flowers, set to be released on August 21. He has also embarked on his intimate “Down To The Studs Tour,” where he performs solo — just a guitar, stories, and songs — reconnecting with audiences in listening rooms and small theaters across the country. Known for turning lived-in lyrics into emotionally resonant performances, Nail remains guided by a simple philosophy: stay truthful, keep growing, and make music that means something long after the moment passes.
