Then when [producer Sam Kassirer and I] started working on it together it totally evolved, but it still sort of maintained that identity of a summer, light feel. We just took it in a different direction." ![]() COSTA MESA, CA (April, 2018 Press Release) – The third round of the 2018 MotoAmerica Series, the Championship of Virginia at VIRginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia, on the North Carolina border, will feature the Maxim MotoAmerica Tailgate Campout, a mini-music festival held during the middle of the races.

Hailing from the North [Toronto], yet inspired by the South, Nate Daviau (pronounced Dav-ee-o) is a is a singer-songwriter who draws from a broad range of interests including pop, folk, gospel, and jazz as well as contemporary Americana artists like Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell. Nate's debut single "Carry This Love" was released this past February and immediately found a warm reception, finding airplay on Sirius XM and CBC Country.
Today, TDC is excited to bring you the follow-up to "Carry This Love," the rootsy "Miss Him Too." Penned by Daviau, "Miss Him Too" mixes sentimentality and optimism in the relatable story of a couple facing hard times. Led by Daviau's heartfelt, yet gritty and determined vocals, "Miss Him Too's" driving percussion and subtle guitar twang guide the way back to the one he loves....and himself. "I want the last time you cried To be the last time you'll cry I want the last time I drove you insane To be the last time I went driving that way" Daviau relays the story behind the song, "Often, when you try and tell someone you love that they have changed, they react defensively. It's something that I think a lot of couples struggle with. This song describes the idealized response to this criticism; I think it's what most people wish their partner would say or do. While I was writing this tune, I wanted to emphasize that this is a dramatic response and maybe a bit of a romanticized one. To do this, I pictured this as the last opportunity to get the girl back and imagined the guy trying to get to her as fast as he could. It makes the song sound like a chase." Nate, who currently attends the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, will be releasing an EP and touring this summer. Look for dates soon.
