Ernest Aines is a phenomenal Australian Artist of the Year 2024 (& 2023) Nominee in the Folk Awards and a sensational award-winning alt-folk/Americana Australian singer-songwriter. Ernest’s soul-stirring voice brings to life songs filled with profound lyrical expressionism, drawing parallels to the legendary works of Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake.

This rising star from Australia has taken the world by storm, wowing audiences at the prestigious Cambridge Folk Festival in July 2024 and leaving a lasting impression at Folk Alliance International in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, in 2023. His rendition of a traditional song even earned a place in the archives of the Library of Congress.

Ernest's journey of success continues with sold-out shows in the UK and an upcoming performance at Glasgow's Celtic Connections. His debut album, “Spiral Bound”, received high praise from critics for its “exceptional lyricism”, “instrumental genius”, and “boundless creativity”. Rhythms Magazine, the Australian Roots bible, hailed it as “a remarkable debut album with a quality that is universal, borderless, and timeless”. Notably, it was nominated by Music Victoria as "Best Folk Work 2024".
