Ernest is releasing live performance audio from his Salvage Sessions and Circle Sessions in a limited double-sided vinyl, Ernest & The Fellas Unplugged, on Sept. 29.
Releasing both on vinyl and across streaming services, the project features fan favorites “This Fire,” “Miss That Girl,” “Feet Wanna Run” and a cover of John Mayer‘s “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room.” Writers contributing to the project include Dean Dillon, Brian Kelley, Josh Thompson, Charles Kelley and more.
Capping off the musical milestone and Flower Shops chapter, he has added several new additions to his accomplishments with “Flower Shops” the single earning more than 306 million on demand U.S. streams and the album earning over 300,000 album equivalents, reaching No. 2 on Apple Music Country and debuting top 20 all-genre.
“Flower Shops has been such a wild ride,” says the artist. “I can’t put words to how much the love and support for the album and its deluxe means to me. Now that we’re getting ready to be back out on the road headlining this fall, it only felt right that the fellas and I wrap up this chapter with live versions of some of our favorites to play live.”
On the road now as direct support for Morgan Wallen‘s “One Night At A Time World Tour” with upcoming dates in Illinois, Nebraska as well as a trek around Canada, Ernest will kick off his headlining “This Fire Tour” this fall. He launched season four of his Just Being Ernest podcast this summer while on the road, kicking it off with tour-mate Hardy and chatting with friends old and new about music, life and current events.
