TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

For decades, Ernie Haase has been a familiar name in Gospel music. As tenor of Earnie Haase and Signature Sound and founder of StowTown Records, Haase has dedicated his life to sharing his faith through song. In a recent interview, he shared his thoughts on why he does what he does, the best advice he has ever received, and how he stays true to himself.

When asked about his motivation for singing Gospel music, Haase emphasized the importance of purpose. “Why I do what I do is because people need the gospel. They need to know that there is more to life than just living and dying and just trying to make it through another day another night,” he said. For Haase, music is more than entertainment—it is a way to share the message of faith and hope with others.

The wisdom passed down to Haase by his grandfather has also played a significant role in his journey. “Find something you love and you have passion for, and whatever you do in life, if you do that, you probably will never consider yourself working,” he recalled. This advice has shaped his career, helping him stay dedicated despite the challenges that come with life on the road. The love and passion for Gospel music have been his driving force, making the work feel less like a job and more like a calling.

Authenticity is another key aspect of Haase’s life and career. He believes that staying true to oneself requires reflection and prayer. “When you humble yourself and you kneel before the Lord, and you don’t come to him with any request as far as blessings, you come to him just as a servant, and you are totally transparent before him,” he explained. According to Haase, this kind of humility allows one to see what is truly aligned with faith and purpose.

When asked what three words he would share with a large audience, Haase’s answer was simple yet profound: “God is love.” He acknowledged that while this message may seem familiar, its true meaning is powerful. “When you feel the divine smile of God’s love on you, all earthly frowns are inconsequential,” he said.

Through his music and message, Ernie Haase continues to inspire Gospel music lovers. His dedication to faith, passion, and authenticity serves as a reminder that music can be a powerful tool for sharing hope and love with the world

“You’ll Find Him There”: A Musical Journey of Discovery

In the bustling world of music, where rhythms collide and melodies intertwine, there emerges a song that transcends mere notes. “You’ll Find Him There,” the latest offering from EHSS (Ernie Haase & Signature Sound), invites listeners on a soul-stirring journey—a quest for the divine that echoes across time and space. The song was added to our music rotation today (30 July.)

“And after the earthquake, a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire, a still small voice.” — 1 Kings 19:12

These words from the Book of Kings, serve as the foundation for “You’ll Find Him There.” The song captures the essence of Elijah’s encounter with the Almighty—a moment when chaos gave way to quiet revelation. EHSS, renowned for their harmonious blend of voices, brings this biblical narrative to life through music.

The quartet’s signature four-part harmony takes center stage in “You’ll Find Him There.” As the notes rise and fall, listeners are transported to the very heart of Elijah’s quest. The song’s upbeat tempo mirrors the urgency of the prophet’s search, while the harmonies evoke both longing and hope.

“There’ll be a big earthquake moving under your feet, and though the ground will shake, still the Lord you will not see. You’ll hear a still, small voice that gently fills the air – YOU’LL FIND HIM THERE!”

In these lines, EHSS encapsulates the seismic shifts of life—the moments when our foundations tremble. Yet, amidst the chaos, there exists a whisper—a divine presence that defies the clamor. The still, small voice beckons us to listen, to seek beyond the visible, and to find solace in the unseen.

As “You’ll Find Him There” resonates through speakers and hearts alike, it reminds us that even in life’s cacophony, God’s presence endures.

SPECIAL: STOWTOWN RECORDS

Nashville, TN (April 29, 2022) â€“ It’s more than a mantra or song title. In true Ernie Haase fashion, he’s “keeping on” with another musical offering for fans. Coming out of a difficult time for live performances, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound recorded a live concert DVD just as soon as it was possible to do so. Keeping On Live!, recorded last year at the Gaither Studios in Alexandria, IN, is available today wherever gospel music is sold.

The album Keeping On has had tremendous success since its release in July 2021 having received a GRAMMY® nomination for Roots Gospel Album of the Year, as well as a GMA Dove Award nomination for Southern Gospel Song of the Year for “Wake Up,” the first single from this album. Additionally, EHSS was honored with the GMA Dove Award for Southern Gospel Artist of the Year and the Singing News Fan Award for Quartet of the Year. Yet with these accolades, Ernie Haase, Dustin Doyle, Doug Anderson and Paul Harkey have kept their focus on creating music and staying connected with fans, all the while encouraging them to “Keep On Keeping On.” Their weekly online shows, originally started during the 2020 touring season, have been a welcomed Friday night mainstay for many. And while EHSS is blessed to be invited into people’s homes, nothing can take the place of a live concert experience.

“The words to ‘Keep On Keeping On’ were written from a personal experience,” shares Ernie Haase. “Thank God He had something new, something fresh, something more for us. It became another level of living and thinking. It is my prayer that this full length DVD of those songs from our Keeping On album will not only bless others, but also remind them in many ways that ‘God can be trusted’ through every part of the journey.”

Keeping On Live! (DVD) and Keeping On (CD) are both distributed by Provident/Sony Distribution and are available online and at your local Christian retailer.
