Triple-threat talent and acclaimed songwriter ERNEST has announced his next project, ‘Live From The South,' arriving November 21. The release follows his critically lauded 2024 album ‘NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE' and captures the spirit of Southern life — from small-town football games to front-porch storytelling. Leading the collection is new single ‘Blessed,' out now, a reflective track celebrating gratitude, faith, and family. The song, co-written by ERNEST alongside Mark Holman, Jordan Merrigan and Matt Mulhare, was self-produced and marks another step forward in his evolution as one of country music’s most distinctive modern voices.
The ‘Live From The South' project once again showcases ERNEST’s signature sound built on guitar-picking, pedal steel, and fiddle, with production by ERNEST and Jacob Durrett. The 4x ACM Award nominee and 3x CMA Triple Play Award winner is also gearing up for two sold-out headlining shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on November 4–5 before launching his Live From The South Tour in early 2026. The trek kicks off January 21 in Denver and will bring ERNEST to major cities across the U.S., including Boston, New York, Houston, Charlotte, Knoxville, and Asheville.
