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.
With influences ranging from the Beatles to Ralph Stanley and Hank Williams Sr. to Brad Paisley, it's always been about a well written song since I picked up the guitar at twelve years old and started teaching myself to play. Learning out of Beatle's books, I would sit for seven hours a day sometimes with my grandfather's old guitar that had a crack below the sound hole, teaching myself the chords I would use to write songs later on that year!
