Ernest at Murat Egyptian Room

Live From The South Tour 2026

YEEEEEEEHAWWWWW, Indy! Dust off them boots and tighten up those cowboy hats,, ‘cause we’re goin’ full throttle country right here at the Murat Egyptian Room this Thursday, March 5th, when ERNEST rolls into town with his Live From The South Tour — and y’all better believe it’s gonna be one for the record books. Twenty-six cities deep, this tour’s been hittin’ everywhere from Birmingham to Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tulsa, and Fort Worth, and now it’s our turn to join the ride. The Egyptian Room’s about to feel like a neon-lit dive straight outta Broadway on a Friday night — cold beers, warm hearts, and a crowd louder than a V8 in the infield. If you know, you know.

Born right outta the heart of Music City, Ernest Keith Smith ain’t no newcomer to the game — he’s the pen behind hits for legends like Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll, and Sam Hunt, and now he’s front and center with a sound that’s as southern as it gets: sweet, honest, and made for singin’ along. His breakout smash “Flower Shops” turned him from Nashville’s best-kept secret into the genre’s next big storyteller, and since then, he’s been unstoppable — racking up 10 million+ monthly listeners, a pile of Billboard-charted singles, and co-writes that shaped the sound of modern country. He’s got that rare mix of back-porch soul and arena-level charisma — the kinda artist who can make you laugh, cry, and scream the same verse at the top of your lungs all in one set.

And he ain’t ridin’ solo this time either. He’s bringin’ along Chandler Walters, the rising country heartthrob who’s been makin’ noise online with his small-town swagger and big-stage energy. Together, they’re about to light up Indianapolis like it’s the Fourth of July — a mix of heartbreak ballads, boot-stompin’ honky-tonk hits, and those road-trip anthems that make you wanna grab your crew, your girl, or your dog and just drive till sunrise.

So let’s call it what it is, folks — a Thursday night throwdown. You, Ernest, a stage full of twang and passion, and a crowd ready to dance till the floorboards creak. The Live From The South Tour is bringin’ Nashville straight up I-65, and the Murat’s about to feel that Tennessee heat all night long. Grab your hat, grab your friends, and we’ll see y’all on the dance floor — ‘cause this one’s gonna be real country, real loud, and real unforgettable.
