A fun concert announcement this morning in Owensboro! Country music star ERNEST is coming to the Owensboro Sportscenter this summer. Plus, he'll be joined by two up-and-coming acts from right here in western Kentucky.

So far in his blossoming career, ERNEST (nicknamed "The Charmer" by Music Row) has landed two hit songs on the country charts and he's done it with help from his friend Morgan Wallen. The first was the tremendous (and underrated) "Flower Shops."

The song peaked at #18 on Billboard's Country Airplay Chart.

In 2024, ERNEST joined Morgan on his hit song "Cowgirls."

Undoubtedly, that song was a smash hit single and became the first #1 song in ERNEST'S career.
