ERNEST – BAND MEMBERS

Question: Tell me about your band members..
ERNEST: “I have an incredible band. We call them the Fellas. You know, we’ve got some new pieces this year. The original, the Core Four has grown and gone on their way. My boy Chandler Walters was my pedal steel player and left -hand man, and he’s now gone to be Post Malone’s pedal steel player, 21 -year -old, cutting a rug out there with Post. It’s sad, sad dad over here. But it’s great. His replacement, Mr. Joe Compton, another 21 year old, stunning young man from Marietta, Georgia. It’s spooky, the similarities, but Jordan Merrigan plays guitar for me. He’s great, he’s been there day one the whole time. Behind me I got Judd. He is a newer drummer, but he has fit in perfectly. And then I got Christian Stoll on the fiddle, and we are a rootin’ tootin’, honky tonkin’.”
