Ernest Aines started playing guitar as a child in Australia.  Songwriting came later, drawing inspiration from the Singer Songwriters of earlier decades. He’s recorded an EP Already Found, an album Spiral Bound and a number of singles, and is currently working on his next recordings.

Ernest has gone from busking in Melbourne to touring the US. Some shows are already sold out but you can still get tickets in a few cities.

Ernest’s music is alive and harmonic, layered with the organic dimensionality of the 12-string guitar. There is a comfortable familiar quality to the music while also being fresh and bright. The songs are personal and universal, doing what a good song should do, hold up a mirror to the listener.
