ON TOUR WITH ERNEST AND JOSH ROSS IN 2026

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today GRAMMY®-nominated multi-instrumental singer-songwriter Chandler Walters offers new song “Justa One Kiss,” out now.
“’Justa One Kiss’ is a song I chose to record to foreshadow the image of where my music is set to go,” Walters shares. “I’m just excited to start releasing this new music and can’t wait for y’all to hear what’s coming.”
Bringing energy back to the classic-country tradition, “Justa One Kiss” boasts organic live show inspired sonics. The jukebox-friendly tune playfully celebrates meeting a “little blue-eyed blue jean girl / rockin’ my blue dream neon world.” The new song was written by frequent collaborators Ernest Keith Smith, Devin Dawson, Jacob Durrett and Kyle Fishman.
The past two years have proven to be a whirlwind for the young triple threat. Walters’ publishing deal signed in 2024 with ERN’s Cadillac Music led to a GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM nomination for his colossal co-write on Post Malone’s 5X Platinum, all-genre No. 1 single “I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen).” He spent the spring and summer on Post Malone’s The BIG ASS Stadium Tour as an opener, member of Post’s band playing pedal steel and host of official after parties dubbed Walters Western Road Show in select cities.
Earlier this year, Walters made his artist debut on Cadillac Sessions where he released originals “Worth The Trouble” and “Whatever Happened To Us” alongside a cover of Vince Gill’s “One More Last Chance.” He’s set to join ERNEST on his Live From The South Tour in 2026 as well as Josh Ross’ Later Tonight Tour. Currently in the studio with more new music on the horizon, stay up to date with Chandler Walters here.
ABOUT CHANDLER WALTERS

Already a seasoned steel-guitar player and multi-Platinum, all-genre No. 1 songwriter, his burgeoning artistic career is now kicking off, schooled on a mix of rock and country influence. The guitar slinger moved to Nashville on a whim in 2021, picking up steel guitar and catching the attention of hitmaker ERNEST in the process, who promptly added Walters to his band. Traveling the world while learning song craft from the modern greats, he signed a publishing deal with ERN’s Cadillac Music in 2024, earning monster success as co-writer on Post Malone’s 5X Platinum, all-genre No. 1 single “I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen).” Walters posted six cuts on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion in total, and has also co-penned tracks for ERNEST (including “I Went To College, I Went To Jail” (feat. Jelly Roll)), Bailey Zimmerman (“Is This Really Over?”), Charles Wesley Godwin (“Dead To Rights”) and more. Now signed to DeVille Records, he makes his artistic debut on Cadillac Sessions – a compilation album mixing classic style with a new-Nashville swagger, introducing Walters and his label mates to the world. Boasting organic, live-show inspired country sonics (with plenty of steel guitar) and a knack for modern language, tracks like “Justa One Kiss” find a proven hitmaker turning “real shit” into catchy, singalong anthems.
