ERNEST played a pop-up performance on Tuesday evening (October 14) at one of the historic honky tonks on Lower Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Grammy-nominated country singer-songwriter performed at The Stage, kicking off his set by tipping his hat to country legend Hank Williams Jr. ERNEST covered āFamily Tradition,ā which Williams Jr. released in the late 1970s, and went on to perform some of the biggest hits he co-wrote for other artists. That includes Jelly Rollās Whitsitt Chapel single, āSon of a Sinner,ā and āI Had Some Help,ā which Post Malone released with Morgan Wallen and included on his highly-anticipated country record.
ERNEST, who recently released āBro Countryā with HARDY, is known for his hits from albums Flower Shops and Nashville, Tennessee, titled as a nod to his hometown. Earlier this year, ERNEST debuted Cadillac Sessions, teaming up with Miranda Lambert,Ā Snoop Dogg,Ā Jake Worthington, Chandler Walters,Ā Cody LohdenĀ andĀ Rhys Rutherford.
āWe didnāt hold anything back. There is a timeless Americana feel and the old-Nashville mentality of āwrite your songsā ā and those guys wrote their songs,ā ERNEST said in a statement of the first-ever DeVille Records project. āThey all love classic country the same way I do, and weāre also with the times of the modern era ā we ride those waves really well, too. Iām just happy to shed a little light on what theyāre able to do.ā
