NASHVILLE, TENN. – Critically-acclaimed singer / songwriter ERNEST today announces his fall headlining tour, The Legalize Country Music Road Show. The tour will kick off in Vancouver, Canada on Sept. 4 and continue throughout several markets, including Los Angeles, Calif., Anaheim, Calif., Fort Worth, Texas, Milwaukee, Wis., Knoxville, Tenn., and more. The tour announcement marks the latest milestone in a record year for ERNEST, who this year earned multiple ACM Award nominations – for both New Male Artist of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year – after the release of his highly-anticipated sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE in April.
With more than one billion global artist on-demand streams, sold-out shows at the Ryman Auditorium, and his recent performance debut at California’s biggest country festival, Stagecoach, ERNEST continues the momentum of his sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE and his headlining success as a solo artist with The Legalize Country Music Road Show. The 2X Variety Hitmaker and CMA Triple Play award winner also continues to earn critical praise, with The Tennessean noting “more than any performer, ERNEST best represents how, in the next decade, the communal spirit driving country music in Nashville will likely redefine popular culture worldwide” and Pollstar noting ERNEST proves to be more than just a game changing behind-the-scenes force who helped define a generation, but also a maverick that “creates a sound all his own.”

ERNEST fan club presale tickets will begin Wednesday, May 29 at 10 a.m. local time and include select VIP packages.

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 2X ACM Award nominee (2024), CMA Triple Play award winner, and 2022 / 2023 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 just released sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, following critically acclaimed debut album FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM) and its deluxe, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, 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).
