About Ernest:
Nashville's most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is “The Charmer” (MusicRow), a triple threat talent and one of Music City's on the rise artist / writers who is changing the status quo. The two-time 2023 ACM Award nominee and 2022/3 Variety 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 nine No. 1 hits to date. The eccentric free spirit and 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner announced his new album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE will drop April 12. The album is the follow-up to ERNEST's critically acclaimed debut albumFLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM) and FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, the rebranded edition doubling its track list with 13 fresh cuts. Praised as one of Holler and The Tennessean's best albums of the year, FLOWER SHOPS showcased the more classically country side of his craft, and that “ERNEST creates a sound all his own" (Pollstar).

Hey Sara I think you are great.. so much of your music has been been very special to me.. feeling alone in high school, born to fly was one of my favorite songs:) But hearing this guy swear and the profanity is just not how I imagine you would stand for. Ephesians 4:29 - “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths.”

[@ChrisBuonoWrites]

"The power of songs, life of songs." Great point, Ernest, re: new album! 40:53
