Signature Sound Releases Vintage Recording

 
Nashville, TN - In conjunction with the highly anticipated summer concert tour, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound has released a brand new recording,, which takes the popular quartet and fans back to the roots of Gospel Music. The vintage quartet stylings which were popularized by the legendary quartets of the 1950s have been brought back to life through the latest release from Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. Appropriately entitled Influenced, the recording captures the pure essence and simplicity of the four-part harmony that blazed the trail for so many talented quartets.
“We have been greatly influenced by the rich heritage of Gospel Music,” Signature Sound leader Ernie Haase states. “We wanted to pay tribute to the singers and songwriters who started this journey that we continue to travel. On this recording, we used players who were very intimate with the art form and recorded with vintage amps, guitars and an upright bass. We even sang and recorded the vocals like the groups did back in the 50s, on two microphones, with no multi-tracking. Our desire is to make sure names like Jake, Hovie and Chief never die. We hope their legacy lives on through this recording.” 
Influenced comes on the heels of the group’s 2008 GMA Dove Award for their Get Away Jordan recording, which was named Southern/Country Gospel Album of the Year and also produced the group’s 2008 GMA Dove Award for Song of the Year for the recording’s title cut. Influenced will not be distributed to retail and is not available on the group’s website. The recording is only available for sale at the Signature Sound summer tour dates, which include 20 stops during June, July and the first part of August. Tour stops include Birmingham, Nashville, Greensboro, Tulsa and two concert events in Ft Worth.
