Nashville’s most unpredictable hitmaker, ERNEST, is “The Charmer” (MusicRow): a triple-threat talent who “creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar) and one of Music City’s defining artist-writers, continuing to push and challenge the artistic status quo.
The GRAMMY-nominated, 4X ACM Award nominee (2024), 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner, and 2022 / 2023 Variety Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones, crafting a twist-heavy verse style that’s become his signature, proving its mettle, and earning him twelve No. 1 hits as a songwriter and one No. 1 at country radio himself.
The eccentric free spirit released his highly anticipated full-length sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, last year, a set that “maintain(s) Nashville’s tethering to its legendary history while wholly embracing the soul of the city’s future” (The Tennessean), featuring 26 songs and collaborations with genre tastemakers Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY, and more.
The album was named one of the Best of the Year by Billboard, Los Angeles Times, The Tennessean, and Country Now, following in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessor, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), and its cleverly expanded deluxe edition, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses.
A Look Back at RT. 4 Live’s Star-Studded Concert History
The RT.4 Farm Tour and RT.4 Live concert series over the past few years has brought major country music stars to small-town Ohio. RT.4 Live has become a go-to name in the Ohio country concert scene.
The tour’s reputation was solidified in 2022, when Lee Brice brought his unmistakable voice and a string of radio hits to the Union County Fairgrounds. Songs like “One of Them Girls” and “Hard to Love” filled the summer night air as thousands of fans sang along. It was a defining moment for RT.4 Live and set a high bar for future shows.
In 2023, Lainey Wilson took the RT.4 Farm Tour stage just as her career was skyrocketing. Fresh off the success of “Heart Like a Truck” and “Things a Man Oughta Know,” Wilson gave a fiery, soulful performance that blended modern country with a vintage flair. Fans left knowing they’d witnessed a rising star on the edge of stardom.
Jon Pardi kept the momentum rolling in 2024, delivering one of the most high-energy sets the fairgrounds have seen. With hits like “Dirt on My Boots” and “Heartache Medication,” Pardi’s performance brought the perfect mix of honky-tonk and modern country that had the whole crowd two-stepping until the final encore.
This year, RT.4 Live welcomes Justin Moore to the same legendary stage. As a chart-topping country artist known for songs like “Small Town USA” and “You Look Like I Need a Drink,” Moore is set to continue RT.4 Live’s tradition of bringing the biggest names in country music to Marysville, OH.
Each summer, the Union County Fairgrounds transforms into Ohio’s epicenter for live country music, drawing fans from across the Midwest. RT.4 Live concerts offer more than just great music—they deliver small-town charm, big-stage energy, and a one-of-a-kind experience under the stars.
If you’re searching for country concerts in Ohio 2025, Justin Moore live in Marysville, or the best fairground shows in central Ohio, RT.4 Live is the name to know.
