Nashville's most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is “The Charmer” (MusicRow): a triple threat talent who "creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar) and one of Music City's defining artist-writers who continues to push and challenge the artistic status quo. The 2X ACM Award nominee (2024), 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner, and 2022 / 2023 Varsity Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones, crafting a twist-heavy verse style that's become his signature, proving its mettle, and earning him eleven No. 1 hits as a songwriter and one No. 1 at country radio himself. The eccentric free spirit just released his highly anticipated full-length sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, a set that "maintain(s) Nashville's tethering to its legendary history while wholly embracing the soul of the city's future" (The Tennessean), featuring 26 new songs and collaborations with genre tastemakers Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY, and more. The album has been shortlisted as one of the Best of the Year So Far by Billboard, The Tennessean, and Country Now, following in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessor, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), and its cleverly- expanded deluxe edition, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, which added a baker's dozen of fresh cuts to the bunch. ERNEST headlines this fall on The Legalize Country Music Roadshow before opening arenas for Jelly Roll through the end of the year.
