ERNEST will kick off his “Live From The South Tour” beginning Jan. 21 in Denver. Country newcomers Chandler Walters, Cody Lohden and Rhys Rutherford will provide support for the new tour.

The tour is set to hit Boston, Sacramento, Jacksonville, Charleston, New York, Detroit, Ft. Worth, Houston and more before wrapping in April. Public on-sale begins Sept. 26.

“I’m so excited for this chapter. The ‘Live From The South Tour’ is gonna be a night full of sounds from the South,” shares ERNEST. “Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee and a lover of the southland… even further south where I find so much inspiration in the Virgin Islands. This tour is gonna be so much fun playing some new music mixed with some of my favorites and getting to share the stage with my artists on DeVille Records. So proud of them and ready to see the fellas rocking.”

Walters, Lohden and Rutherford join the tour after releasing a mixtape-style record, Cadillac Sessions, with Ernest earlier this year to launch DeVille Records. The album features original songs from the group, plus additional guests Snoop Dogg, Miranda Lambert and Jake Worthington. Walters has been on the road with Post Malone on “The BIG ASS Stadium Tour,” and Lohden and Rutherford are each in the studio working on debut projects.

ERNEST, a three-time CMA Triple Play award winner and three-time Variety hitmaker, continues to tour throughout the fall with Lainey Wilson on her “Whirlwind Tour,” and is set to headline hometown venue the Ryman for two nights this year on Nov. 4-5.
