about

Based in South Western Ontario and influenced heavily by connections to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Years of Ernest fuse elements of storytelling folk and harmony with rock's driving ferocity and reckless abandon. After touring large parts of Canada multiple times and sharing festival stages alongside some of this country's musical elite in support of their 2011 release, "A Crooked Storyline", Years of Ernest has returned with a new record, a more cohesive sound and grit that aims to remind us all that rock and roll is alive and well.
The 2015 release of their second album, "At Risk" captures both tenacity and breadth in writing style, arrangement and production that parallels what fans and supporters have come to expect from this band. There is an attitude and interplay between parts and tracks that challenges the trend of individualized pop stars and isolated songs or sound bites, and insists that albums can still exist with an overarching character and music is still at its best when a band is a cohesive unit with a shared vision. Years of Ernest can be found chugging along various stretches of the Trans Canada, sweating on a stage, working in the studio or in the technical universe of the internet, as you please. Catch a show, buy an album, visit online and know that there's plenty more to come.
