Nashville’s most unpredictable hitmaker, ERNEST, is “The Charmer” (MusicRow): a triple-threat talent who “creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar). A GRAMMY-nominated, four-time ACM Award nominee (2024), two-time CMA Triple Play Award winner, and Variety Hitmaker (2022–2023), ERNEST continues to redefine country music’s boundaries.
Blending influences from Eminem to George Jones, he’s known for his twist-heavy lyrical style and genre-bending creativity. As one of Music City’s top artist-writers, he’s earned twelve No. 1 hits as a songwriter and one at country radio as an artist.
ERNEST’s highly anticipated sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, showcases his range and reverence for the city’s musical roots. The 26-track project “maintains Nashville’s tethering to its legendary history while wholly embracing the soul of the city’s future” (The Tennessean), with collaborations from Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY, and more.
Named one of the year’s best albums by Billboard, Los Angeles Times, The Tennessean, and Country Now, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE builds on the success of his acclaimed debut, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), and its deluxe edition, Two Dozen Roses. ERNEST stands at the forefront of modern country—fearless, inventive, and undeniably original.
