Today at 03:07 PM
GRAMMY®-nominated top-selling singer-songwriter ERNEST will perform hits from his critically acclaimed albums Flower Shops (The Album) and Nashville, Tennessee and much more in headlining the first Busch Light Summer Music Series event of the year before the May 4 WÜRTH 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.
To kick off the Busch Light Summer Music Series, the top-selling Nashville artist, "Ernest, a writer of hit songs and an emerging star in his own right" (The New York Times), has earned thirteen No. 1 hits as a songwriter and several No. 1 hits on country radio. ERNEST will be performing hits from his critically acclaimed albums “Flower Shops (The Album)” and “Nashville, Tennessee” featuring collaborations with Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY and much more leading up to Sunday‘s green flag. ERNEST also recently co-penned the Hot 100 record-breaking single, "I Had Some Help" by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen which earned him a 2025 GRAMMY® nomination.
This year, ERNEST is on the road as direct support for Lainey Wilson and Old Dominion. Last year, he opened for Morgan Wallen‘s "One Night at a Time" Stadium Tour as well as arena shows for Jelly Roll‘s "Beautifully Broken Tour." "From hitmaker to historian…ERNEST is reviving the sound of classic country music" (Los Angeles Times).
The 2025 Busch Light Summer Music Series will debut at Texas Motor Speedway (May 4), followed by concerts once a month at Michigan International Speedway (June 8), the Chicago Street Race (July 6), Iowa Speedway (Aug. 3) and World Wide Technology Raceway (Sept. 7).
