Nicholas David is 'Super Pumped' for First Avenue Shows

His two performances tonight and Saturday will be his first major shows in the Twin Cities since he placed third on "The Voice."

Eagan's singing phenom Nicholas David is playing two shows at First Avenue this weekend, his first major Twin Cities performances since winning third place on "The Voice" in December.

He'll be bringing more than just experience from the NBC reality singing competition: David will be joined on stage by contestants Melanie Martinez and Todd Kessler (on Friday and Satuday) and by Terry McDermott and Trevin Hunte (just on Saturday).

"When we were filming, we agreed regardless of what happens, let's build bridges," he told the Pioneer Press. "We're all trying to do the same thing, so let's help each other."

David's Friday night First Avenue performance is already sold out but tickets are still available for the Saturday evening show.

"I'm super pumped," David told the Pioneer Press. "I feel like First Avenue is almost a gateway, you know what I mean? It's kind of like a stepping stone to the next level. With all this momentum, let's see what we can do."

The Pioneer Press has in an interview with David about the show and his career:

"There has been some strong interest from some cool labels. I don't mean to be lame, but I can't say who they are yet. But Friday, there will be some people coming in to check out the show. I can't believe it's happening."
