Claire Ernst – DREAM TOUR

In this Dream Tour segment, the singer-songwriter, Claire Ernst, lets you know who she would like on her ultimate tour lineup. You can check out the feature, after the break.

I grew up around music and I have been taught to appreciate all different types of it. I listen to all genres— from rap, to pop, to alternative to motown— if it sounds good then it doesn’t matter to me where it came from. So my dream tour lineup might sound a little out-of-the-box because I’m about to mix and match genres like nobody’s business, but these are some of the people that I would be honored to share the stage with.

Kacey Musgraves
Kacey Musgraves is one of my all time favorite song writers and she’s the first person that came to mind when I thought about my dream tour’s lineup. She paints the most amazing pictures with her words and that’s exactly what I want to do with my music. When it comes to Kacey Musgraves, it was love at first song. I’ve seen her perform live and it was mind-blowing. For me, the thought of us performing together is everything I’ve ever wanted.

Ed Sheeran
I saw Ed Sheeran perform live with Taylor Swift a while back and I could never keep him out of my dream tour lineup. I adore him. He could stand on stage with just a guitar and a loop pedal and perform for hours. I admire so much about his performance style and know that I could learn a lot just from being around him.

Lukas Graham
I’d definitely book Lukas Graham because he has the most incredible range and a super original writing style. Last Christmas, a family member showed me a clip of Lukas Graham singing Seven Years live. It was before he had really gotten big and I was in complete shock watching him—he made live performing look so effortless. I downloaded his last album the second it came out. He’s definitely a must on my set list.

Chance the Rapper
And, to hold down the hip hop corner of my heart, I’d have to have Chance the Rapper on my dream tour. He’s one of my all time favorite artists. He ties in rap, which I love, and oldies into a completely modern style of hip hop. His style is so insane I love it. Instead of just using looped tracks he uses real instruments in his music which I think is really important. I am absolutely obsessed with his songs and would love his vibe on my dream tour.
