About

“Watch out, you become just what you say,” Ernie Nickels sings in his 2024 debut single “hangin round.”

His lyrics explore metaphysical themes while wrestling with the grip of addiction. Falling somewhere between singer-songwriter and psychedelic, his music reflects a winding journey of drifting across the U.S. and frequently relocating his home.

After living as far east as Brooklyn and as far west as Honolulu, Ernie has now planted himself in Nashville, Tennessee, where his music continues to blossom in fertile ground.
