Earnest Pugh

Emmy Award-winning, Singer/Songwriter, Gospel hit-maker and Amazon best-selling author Earnest Pugh will release the anticipated The Very Best of Earnest Pugh on June 2, 2023. 

The Very Best of Earnest Pugh is a collection that reminds us Earnest Pugh’s stirring body of work, potent voice and moving ministry. It showcases such signature hits as “Rain on Us” and “The Great I Am,” as well as two new tracks featuring Zacardi Cortez and Nakitta Foxx respectively. It is a timely reminder of Earnest’s impact and contributions over the past fifteen years.  Earnest shares, “It’s one thing to know Jesus as Lord and Savior but in a climate with increased crimes, a failing economy, and uprise in gun violence, it's imperative that we know Him as ‘Keeper Of Our Souls,’ because leaving home and coming back, is not a guarantee in these uncertain times.”

In February 2023 Earnest released the anthem “Keep Hope Alive,” featuring Dr. Jamal Bryant for Black History Month. Earnest Pugh is a 20-year military veteran and founder of his own Non-Profit Organization, Veterans Emergency Relief, which provides food, shelter and clothing throughout the Houston Region. He also volunteers his services to veterans dealing with issues of depression and suicide. He shares, “’Keep Hope Alive’ resonated in my heart this year more than ever. I felt an urgency to insert this message into today’s climate of civil unrest, police brutality, and social in justice as a shot in the arm that will empower us with a greater determination to be hopeful that things will get better. Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant, one of the most prolific orators of this time, weighs in with excerpts from his ‘The Audacity.’”
