Vault Series: Radio Days By: The Cathedrals StowTown Records / 2017 - One of the most beloved recordings of The Cathedral Quartet was Radio Days. This project was a tribute to the early beginnings of Southern Gospel quartet music. Many of the popular quartets began their careers by performing radio shows across the United States from 1930 to 1950. Songs from the Stamps-Baxter/Stamps Quartet and James D. Vaughn catalogs quickly rose to prominence as a result of these shows. Today those songs are considered classics. StowTown Records has extracted this treasure from their vault for fans to reminisce and even introduce to a new generation.
2016 album from the Christian vocalist. With such a demanding schedule, it's a good thing Doug Anderson doesn't just walk through life, he runs - with a smile on his face, grateful for every mile along the way. As an original founding member of the award-winning group, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Doug is happy to be singing night after night with a group that tours constantly, and is in high demand. But now Doug, with the blessing of his good friend Ernie Haase, has taken on new duties as a featured solo artist, in addition to his favorite roles as smitten husband, adoring father, and committed athlete. Doug was a nominee for Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2012 Dove Awards.
2017 release from the multi-GMA/Dove Award nominated and winning artists. One of Southern Gospel's most beloved family bands, The Perrys, return with a new recording. Each song has become a very personal testimony to the members of this ministry now over 40 years in the making. Through all of many trials and valleys this family has walked through the past years they have never forgotten their calling or their covenant with God. Their desire is to encourage others who may be going through what seems to be impossible situations. There are answers, comfort and healing in these lyrics about a God who is ever faithful.
When The Collingsworth Family decided to live stream a concert from home to benefit Samaritan's Purse on March 29, they had no idea what God would do with this act of obedience. As a last minute decision, they set up recording equipment to record an event that would be viewed by more than 595,000 people and raise more than $220,000 for Samaritan's Purse, the Franklin Graham organization that had just moved into New York City, the U.S. epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. The songs they shared were encouraging and calming - something fans so desperately needed as many states were going into government-imposed lockdowns that very week. The Collingsworth Family could not have anticipated what God would do with their simple effort to support Samaritan's Purse. Fans flooded their office with requests for recordings of this event.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed- in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) Phillips, Craig & Dean. Selah. The Three Tenors. If you had to compare the sound of Hebron Road to another artist, these would be accurate. Hebron Road's goal is to use their God-given talents to point others to the throne of the King of kings. Bringing their best in content and production, Hebron Road's debut album, In A Moment, showcases pitch-perfect unison and glorious harmonies akin to what we anticipate hearing around that throne. The focus throughout is praise to God. Friend and songwriter Michael Neale (Natalie Grant, Michael W. Smith, Kutless, Shane & Shane) contributes three songs or arrangements to the album and producer Keith Everette Smith (Tasha Layton, Danny Gokey, Charles Billingsley) co-wrote two additional songs. For this debut, Hebron Road recorded their version of Crowder's "All My Hope" and Lauren Daigle's "You Say" bringing these contemporary songs into the church sanctuary. These expressions of worship are truly inspirational and appeal to a wide variety of audiences.
2022 release. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) As the central theme of the Gospel message, this scripture is probably the best known passage. And this message is one that The Perrys share through every album and every concert. The title cut from the album, "John 3:16 Is Calling Out To You," has already released digitally and to radio and it is gaining traction. Putting this scripture into song feels familiar and comforting - something The Perrys also long for these days. With numerous changes over the last few years, they are blessed to be able to look back and find consistency. Wayne Haun has been a long-time friend and producer for Libbi Perry Stuffle and The Perrys. He helps them find just the right songs and then pushes each member to give their best in the studio. He knows their sound. His care and expertise is evident throughout the entire album John 3:16. The Perrys have also been fortunate to record many songs by the famed songstress Kyla Rowland. When Kyla passed away just a few weeks ago, it brought comfort to The Perrys that they had already received a song from their beautiful friend for this upcoming recording. It may well be the final new recording of a Kyla Rowland song. Also providing consistency for The Perrys is this recording of songs with themes of victory, encouragement, salvation, and redemption.
If there is one thing that Triumphant Quartet does exceptionally well, it is giving the fans what they want. As trailblazers in the Southern Gospel industry, they are bridging the gap between the legacy of sound and songs familiar to long-time listeners and a younger, newer audience more familiar with CCM hits. On previous projects, they've crossed barriers with "Chain Breaker," "Eye of the Storm," "We Believe," "Way Maker" and "Goodness of God" to find that whether people were hearing it for the first time or for the hundredth, these songs resonated with everyone. With a strong, consistent heart for the Church, Triumphant Quartet sought to embrace both hymns and worship songs of the Church on their latest offering, Hymns and Worship. The pairing of Triumphant Quartet with veteran producer Wayne Haun has yielded a new recording filled with familiar songs all in a true Triumphant Quartet, progressive southern sound. The results are stunning, and the goal of bringing their talents to songs they sing in church each Sunday is beautifully met. The simplicity of hymns like "My Jesus, I Love Thee" and "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" brings subtle, personal worship moments to the album. Recent CCM and Praise & Worship covers include Zach Williams' "Less Like Me," "The Blessing" (Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe), "Homecoming" by Bethel Music & Cody Asbury, "Help is on the Way (Maybe Midnight)" by Toby Mac, and the current hit "My Jesus" by Anne Wilson. The brilliant arrangements of each of these songs create a masterpiece of worship where the focus is truly on the One worthy of our praise and the artist is truly a vessel leading the listener in song.
2021 release. Produced and arranged by Dove Award-winning and Grammy-nominated musical genius Wayne Haun, Favorites: On Repeat showcases the versatility of The Erwins, and they are truly excited to share some of the music that has impacted them personally. Keith Erwin reveals, "After five years of being with StowTown, and three projects of all original material, we saw a need for a healthy balance of songs that are ours, as well as tunes that people already know. This recording is filled with both songs we grew up listening to and songs that are current today. We pray that this project will allow the audience to hear a familiar lyric that may bring sweet memories to them, but also hear a song of our generation that they can sing along to and worship with us."
2021 release. During 2020, many artists used their time at home to connect with their family and friends. Ernie Haase not only did that, he and Signature Sound also continued ministering through music. When so many people were offering pay-per-view online concerts, EHSS came into their fans' living rooms on Friday nights with a full half-hour of music and encouragement - for free. Letters and emails from viewers indicated that this was often the only ray of hope during the season of isolation, loss, and grief. Keeping On was born in that darkness, fear, and anxiety that seemed to grip us all. If all you've got left is just one more breath, rise up in faith - take one more step. Keep on keeping on. Filled with songs of encouragement, hope, unity, and praise, Keeping On is the perfect collection of songs for this time. The first single, "Wake Up," released October 2020 and has climbed the Southern Gospel radio charts (currently #22). Ernie Haase & Signature Sound is poised for a banner year with the release of Keeping On. This album serves as a springboard for their concert tour, as well as season two of their web series, which will be rebranded as "Good To Be Home." Join EHSS in the journey into the light through these fun, fresh, faith-focused songs as they inspire us to Keep On Keeping On.
