Following his first project Locals Only, Ernest is back and blossoming with 11-track debut record FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM). Unveiling a new, more traditionally country chapter in his sound, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM) tells a complete story with Ernest at the helm, irrefutably rooted in his Nashville heritage and dancing along the boundary where country, pop, r&b, and roots music collide. The one-of-a-kind creator peppers in tropical elements reminiscent of Locals Only with heavy steel instrumentation, traditional country themes, and the troubadour's signature wordplay. Listeners are in for a treat as FLOWER SHOPS blooms.
