Paying tribute to an American original—the quartet—GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning Gospel tastemakers Ernie Haase & Signature Sound recently released Live In Memphis. The 14-song Club44 Records release, recorded at the famed Memphis Quartet Show earlier this year, boasts a distinctive selection of Broadway, Gospel, Great American Songbook, and Spiritual standards spanning more than a century. Steeped in history while brimming with modern vitality, Live In Memphis was executive produced by Haase and produced by 40-time Dove Award-winner Wayne Haun (Celine Dion, Jason Crabb) and is hallmarked by noted guest appearances from Gospel trailblazers the Blackwood Brothers, as well as Duane Allen of the legendary Oak Ridge Boys, among others.
In this TCB exclusive, Ernie Haase of Ernie Haase & Signature Sound talks about the group’s latest release, Live In Memphis. He shares publicly for the first time that he was very ill the week of the live recording and reflects on how he put his trust in the Lord and then experienced joy during the recording session. Ernie discusses the growth he sees in their audience, as well as in the group’s members. Finally, he reflects on the history of Memphis and how that influenced the project.
