Ernest Live From The South Tour in Indianapolis

GRAMMY®-nominated triple threat ERNEST kicked off his Live From The South Tour in Jackson Hole, WY at the iconic Million Dollar Cowboy Bar before stopping in Salt Lake City, UT and Reno, NV over the weekend. The Live From The South Tour is set to hit Boston, New York, Houston and more before wrapping in April.

As a “writer of hit songs and emerging star in his own right” (The New York Times), ERNEST has a hit-filled catalog to unleash on each stage – including songs from his critically acclaimed NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. Joining ERNEST on the road are breakout artist-writers Rhys Rutherford, Chandler Walters, and Cody Lohden, all three signed to ERNEST’s record label, DeVille Records, and Cadillac Music Publishing, his publishing company. 

The tour follows the highly successful release of guitar-picking, fiddle and pedal steel sonically defined Live From The South, produced by ERNEST and Jacob Durrett released in November - listen HERE. The new collection reflects ERNEST's growth as an artist and comfortability in his own shoes – reveling in gratitude: family ties, simple faith, making a life for yourself. 

This Friday, ERNEST heads even further South – on island time with “Lorelei.” The single previews his next chapter of music, slated for release this year. Pre-add / pre-save HERE.

ABOUT ERNEST

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. A 3X CMA Triple Play Award winner, 2X Variety Hitmakers honoree, and GRAMMY / ACM / CMA Award nominee, ERNEST fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones. Crafting a twist-heavy verse style that's become his signature, his songcraft carves out country’s sonic landscape, proving its mettle and earning him 13 #1 hits as a songwriter, including all-genre #1 “I Had Some Help” (Post Malone), as well as a #1 at country radio himself. 

An eccentric, free spirit, ERNEST released Cadillac Sessions last year alongside DeVille Records / Cadillac Music Publishing mentees Rhys Rutherford, Chandler Walters, and Cody Lohden. Featuring 16 tastemaking tracks and collaborations with Snoop Dogg and Miranda Lambert, the compilation album encapsulates the collaborative spirit of Nashville’s songwriting community, and the creative culture ERNEST is fostering within his own imprints.

ERNEST will embark on his headline Live From The South Tour to kick off 2026, playing originals from his just-released EP of the same name. Nashville’s most dynamic talent is finalizing his third full-length studio album now, previewed by “Lorelei,” coming January 30.
