FRONT BAR / FREE

Since its inception, the ‘ernie’ project has simmered away in the background. What started as loose collaborative writing experience has since begun to morph into shape. After years of work ernie has finally landed in a format ready for the live stage.

While they’re new to the scene, ernie are keen to cut their teeth gigging with energy and excitement. You can expect jangly guitars, drum machine beats and thick bass lines. From covers of Duster to Dinosaur Jr, alongside a stack of originals that have never been heard live, get excited to catch this group in its infancy.

ernie can’t wait to bring this project to The Retreat front bar.

The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which The Retreat now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
