It's all about the song
Tribute to Ernie Simms
Ernie Simms started dabbling in his music career at the tender age of eight years old. With his Sears drums, he and his friends began their music careers. Since that time Ernie wrote over 500 songs. He served in the Army in Vietnam and Korea. During his time in the military, he became a radio host (which lasted for 15 years). Ernie has a great passion for our homeless veterans, in which he became involved with in 1984. He was honored in Kentucky when named a Colonel of the state. Ernie and his wife and partner, Debbie, lived in Nashville. Ernie was named the Entertainment Chairman for ‘Stand Down’, which helps homeless veterans with clothing, jobs, housing, and more. Ernie also hosted the Nashville Onstage television show for many years, contributing to the dreams of independent songwriters the world over.
