‘ERNIE’ is the brainchild and solo project of singer-songwriter Joe Ernest Allan.
Hailing from a sleepy suburban town just outside of Newcastle Upon Tyne, ERNIE’s lyrics read like diary entries, looking back nostalgically and humorously on his turbulent, misspent youth, as well as touching on themes of love, toxic masculinity, working class life, the inner workings of the anxious mind, and tales of eccentric characters encountered in the kitchen over the years at his day job as a professional chef.
Sonically, ERNIE takes influence from a blend of the folksy, old-timey music of small-town America and the lo-fi indie rock and electronica music of present day. At their core, his songs are folk songs driven by brooding, heartfelt vocals and finger-picked acoustic guitar. However, the ERNIE live show is so much more, with fuzzy guitars, warbly synths and glitchy drums in tow. ERNIE and his band have supported the likes of Sam Fender, Wunderhorse, English Teacher, Baxter Dury, Goat Girl, Runnner and more.
In 2023, ERNIE released his debut EP ‘Cold Cuts’ via EMI-imprint Gravity Records (produced by Josh Ingledew and Thom Lewis and mixed by Grammy
Award winner Catherine Marks), receiving critical acclaim from the likes of The Sunday Times, The Independent, NME, DIY and more. His follow up EP is due for release in Autumn 2025.
