Biography:
Ernest H. Thompson was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in the early 90’s, but only lived there until he was 5, when his family relocated to North Carolina.
He is a lifelong lover and learner of languages — speaking English, Spanish and Arabic. Language is what makes us human: understanding how words fit together is like understanding how the pieces of the soul fit together. Songwriting is but one dimension of this endeavor.
Press:
“Ernest Thompson’s new album, The Words I Heard, is something of a tour-de-force. Thompson played everything but the drums on the album’s nine tracks, mixing acoustic guitar with violin, organ, dobro, banjo and pedal steel.” -CHARLESTON CITY PAPER
“Ernest Thompson is a singer songwriter with long ties to the Greensboro Community. He performs frequently in Charleston, SC, but had his first homecoming performing on Tuesday, as part of his southeast tour. Ernest was so happy to see many friends come out to support him.” -GREENSBORO DAILY PHOTO
