PRESERVES FLOWER SHOPS ERA WITH FRESH-CUT LIVE AUDIO OUT NOW
HEADLINING THIS FIRE TOUR KICKS OFF OCT. 18
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Wrapping the era of music that catapulted his rise to stardom, country trendsetter ERNEST preserves his iconic FLOWER SHOPS era today with the release of the live performance audio from his acclaimed Salvage Sessions and Circle Sessions on ERNEST & The Fellas Unplugged, available now across streaming services and as a limited release double-sided vinyl.
Credited for “leading the charge toward real country music” (Saving Country Music), the abundant collection of fan favorites includes nine co-penned tracks by the 8X chart-topping songwriter and a nod to one of his favorite artists, putting a “country twang and twist” (American Songwriter) on John Mayer‘s “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room.”
From the heart-wrenching “What Have I Got To Lose” that “stands toe-to-toe with the genre’s greatest heartbreak hits of all time” (Taste of Country), to the nursey rhyme-like “Miss That Girl” that “displays his witty wordplay and ear-grabbing grit, his two undeniable gifts that transfixed the country community” (CMT), the live collection shows the breadth of ERNEST’s knack for storytelling.

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 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 eight #1 hits to date. The eccentric free spirit and 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner just dropped the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed album FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), rebranding the collection FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, doubling its track list with 13 fresh cuts. The March 2022-released original has been praised as one of Holler and The Tennessean‘s best albums of the year, showcasing the more classically country side of his craft. Nashville’s “busiest – and most consistently successful – creative force” (The Tennessean) wrapped his first-ever sold-out headlining Sucker For Small Towns Tour this past fall. Continuing to put on a show that proves “ERNEST creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar), he delivers dynamic performances while on the road, now as direct support on Morgan Wallen’s One Night At A Time World Tour, and on his forthcoming fall headlining This Fire Tour.
