Ernie Haase & Signature Sound ‘Decades of Love’

Ernie Haase & Signature Sound share songs of hope in their “Decades of Love” show in Hoover Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 19.

As Gospel music’s premier quartet, Haase (tenor), Doug Anderson (lead), Dustin Doyle (lead) and Paul Harkey (bass) step up to their respective mics to perform with as much gusto as a burgeoning act. Rounding out the group are Tyler Vestal (piano) and Wes Jones (bass).

The group has earned four Grammy nods, numerous Gold and Platinum DVDs and six GMA Dove Awards.

From singing on the hallowed stages of the Grand Ole Opry and Carnegie Hall to delivering stirring renditions of the national anthem at NBA games and NASCAR events through the years, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound have also been a beloved fixture at Gaither Homecoming gatherings across the country.

As leading innovators of the genre, the quartet’s musical risks have earned big payoffs. Their 2019 holiday collection, A Jazzy Little Christmas, landed in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums Chart and was named among the “Best Christmas Albums of 2019” by the Los Angeles Times.

In addition, 2022’s Decades of Love, a whopping 29-song set, showcases the band’s unique arrangements of some of the world’s most romantic standards, including “It had to be You,” “Blue Moon” and “I’ll be Seeing You.”
