Part-time chef, full-time singer-songwriter, ERNIE serves up his own brand of heartfelt indie rock, stirring that hazy, nostalgic feeling in with layers of brooding vocals, fuzzy guitars and warbly synths; whilst touching on themes of adolescence, family, relationships and the trappings of being the “odd one out” in a small northern town.
ERNIE - whose real name is Joe Ernest Allan - has spent the last two years in the studio working on a dense collection of songs, and in recent months has been honing his live show, playing alongside the likes of Sam Fender, Wunderhorse, Runnner, Theo Bleak and Lanterns on the Lake, and at festivals such as Live At Leeds and Boardmasters.
