Songwriter's Den: Vince Gill and Ernest Go One-on-One

In honor of October being National Country Music Month, American Songwriter hosted a conversation between Vince Gill and ERNEST at our Nashville office. In the nearly hour-long chat, the pair discussed their musical journeys and the long road to their respective Opry debuts. They also shared humorous tales of writing with Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Dean Dillon, hearing their songs reinterpreted through AI, Merle Haggard’s lasting impact, and much more. #vincegill #ernest #oprynextstage #grandoleopry #americansongwriter #countrymusic #songwriting

Excellent interview. Ya gotta love Vince's honest humility. He called the sale of his steel guitar, a "mercy selling". Perty damn funny. 😅🤣

Thanks for the interview. I mentioned the other day that it's pretty much sacrilege that I've lived in Nashville for 7 months now and still haven't seen Vince play yet. I did buy Opry tickets to see Ernest today though. Absolutely love watching his journey and growth.

🎶All I Need Is One Guy Clark Song And I Would Be Just As Good As You 🎶.
That was a song I wrote and sent to American Songwriter Magazine lyrics contest. I didn't win but I liked it. Have a good day.
