Ernie Payne

Ernie Payne is an African American musician from Louisiana's Acadia Parish. His family was large and everyone learnt early to pitch in and help with chores and household duties. Their strict, religious, hard working ethic thought 'music' essential to a quality life, but hardly something to pursue as a way to earn a living.

Over the years Ernie has been employed as a songwriter for various publishers, front man for numerous musical entities, co front man, civil servant, husband (one wife), father (of two).
