Ernie Haase & Signature Sound Honor The Cathedral Quartet With New Release
Ernie Haase & Signature Sound give new appreciation to some of the greatest quartet favorites ever written in this DVD and CD, honoring the songs and legacy of the quartet that inspired their own genesis as a group. With a breathtaking set, an electrifying audience of supporters, an inspiring line-up of Cathedrals favorites, plus vintage photos, footage and memories of The Cathedrals, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound keep those great memories alive and offer their gratitude for the indelible mark their heroes made on Gospel music.
Ernie Haase comments, "It is no secret that I love The Cathedral Quartet. As a young teenager, I had a poster of them on my wall right next to my favorite sports' icons. George and Glen; their music changed and formed my life." Ernie continues, "To have been part of George and Glen's history and to have been there for their last ten years was nothing less than ‘epic' for me. Now, ten years after The Cathedrals' retirement, we are blessed to pay tribute and bring the music of The Cathedrals to a new generation."
Members of the Payne family, the Younce family and Roger Bennett's family added a very special element to the evening, simply by their presence, and Bill Gaither and Squire Parsons also joined the celebration to honor their good friends.
"There are few artists in history who were better examples to follow than George Younce and Glen Payne" says Bill Gaither. "When they founded The Cathedrals, they started more than a great quartet; they modeled character, team spirit and countless other qualities that young groups could learn from. I know Ernie's early years as a young artist singing with The Cathedrals helped shape his worldview and his vision as an artist, and it is wonderful to see Ernie Haase and Signature Sound honor the spiritual and musical legacy of The Cathedrals so beautifully. This is a wonderful celebration."
