ERNEST Booking Agency Profile

Book ERNEST for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Ernest Keith Smith, who primarily sings as ERNEST, is a country music singer from Nashville, Tennessee, the heart of the country music scene. At an early age, he grew an interest in hip hop and rap music, particularly Eminem and the Space Jam soundtrack. Despite this, ERNEST grew an interest in country music and ended up writing music for the likes of Chris Lane, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen, and Morgan Wallen. Following this, he got a chance to shine on stage himself when Big Loud records signed him in 2019. ERNEST has since toured with the likes of Mason Ramsey (who is most famously known as the kid who yodeled Hank Williams’ music at a Wal Mart). As a songwriter, he helped penned the smash hits “Big, Big Plans” by Chris Lane, “More Then My Hometown” by Morgan Wallen, and “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s” by Sam Hunt. ERNEST released his debut studio album “Locals Only” in 2019, which featured the single “I Think I Love You”. Prior to this, he released the 2017 non album singles “Doperman” and “Bad Boy”. In 2022, he released his second studio album “Flower Shops (The Album)”, which the number 12 spot on the U.S. Country chart.

Frequently Asked Questions about booking ERNEST to perform.

Will ERNEST do a virtual event?
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like ERNEST in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking ERNEST or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Is ERNEST available to work my event?
ERNEST's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking ERNEST for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book ERNEST, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing ERNEST. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
How much is ERNEST charging for events?
CTI can give you the accurate ERNEST booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book ERNEST for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final ERNEST booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will ERNEST charge for an event. An example fee to book ERNEST is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
How do I contact the ERNEST agent or manager?
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the ERNEST agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The ERNEST manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
Can I book ERNEST for an event at a price less than shown?
There is low probability to book ERNEST for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the ERNEST agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book ERNEST, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the ERNEST booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for ERNEST, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
