Big Loud Records’ MULTI-PLATINUM singer/songwriter ERNEST takes fans on a tour of his hometown with the official music video for “American Rust,” out now. The Nashville native visits his significant Music City spots – like the baseball field where he grew up playing – in the clip, directed by Justin Clough.

ERNEST hits his own hallowed ground mentioned in the song’s nostalgic lyrics including an old church and a Chevrolet. Doubling down on the track’s personal message, he proves there’s no place like home with an appearance from his wife, Delaney, filmed just before welcoming their son, Ryman Saint. 
 
“American Rust” follows ERNEST’s timeless toast “Cheers,” plus his fourth #1 hit as a songwriter – “Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90’s” (Sam Hunt). Topping the charts with writing credits on RIAA GOLD “I Love My Country” (Florida Georgia Line), RIAA PLATINUM “More Than My Hometown” (Morgan Wallen) and RIAA PLATINUM “Big, Big Plans” (Chris Lane), he also co-penned 11 songs on Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album, establishing himself as one of Music Row’s most sought-after songwriters.
 
Check out this week’s episode of his “Just Being ERNEST” podcast, where he welcomes back fan-favorite guest and labelmate, HARDY.

ABOUT ERNEST:
A Nashville native with an unpredictable style and personality to match, hitmaker ERNEST is now turning heads on both sides of the singer-songwriter game – and his career is just getting started. Currently one of the most sought-after co-writers on Music Row, he fuses a broad range of influence stretching from Eminem to George Strait, and has now scored four #1 smashes with Morgan Wallen’s “More Than My Hometown,” Florida Georgia Line’s “I Love My Country,” Chris Lane’s “Big, Big Plans,” and Sam Hunt’s “Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90’s.” A MULTI-PLATINUM hit with Diplo and Wallen’s “Heartless” is also part of his growing catalog, and other notable cuts include Lane’s current single, “Fill Them Boots,” FGL’s “Blessings” and songs for Jake Owen, Mason Ramsey and more – including 11 tracks on Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album. As an artist, the eccentric free spirit released his vibrant debut album Locals Only on Big Loud Records in 2019, and followed up with the hand-on-your-heart anthem “Cheers” and latest release “American Rust.” His podcast “Just Being ERNEST” kicked off in the spring of 2020 and has hosted big-name guests including Keith Urban, Diplo, Jason Aldean and more. With its second season now underway, a true Nashville maverick is coming into view.
