Ernie Haase and Signature Sound Announce Changes

Dear Friends,
 
It is with sadness and regret that I announce the departure of Ernie Haase & Signature Sound lead singer, Ryan Seaton.
I thank him from the bottom of my heart for all his contributions. We wish Ryan the very best in his personal and professional pursuits, wherever they may lead him.
 
While one part of my heart is very heavy, the other half is uplifted by the news that Devin McGlamery, from southern gospel’s Grammy-nominated Karen Peck & New River, is joining EHSS as new lead singer! Devin has been lead/tenor for KPNR for the last five years, following a five-year career with the Dixie Melody Boys.
 
Devin’s debut with us will be on January 15, 2010 in Cincinnati, Ohio, at our “Dream On” concert featuring The Collingsworth Family – our first performance after Christmas break. We’re really thrilled to be headlining our own show throughout next year.
 
 
“To say I’m excited is an understatement,” said Devin. “Ernie and I have been great friends for years. I’ve always had a lot of admiration for him as a singer and as a person, and he has always encouraged me. Words cannot express how wonderful I feel about this opportunity for my career and my family.”
 
A native of Valdosta, Georgia, Devin is 27 and lives in Kinston, North Carolina, with his wife Karen Ham McGlamery and their children, Karlyn and Preston.
 
“I want to thank Karen Peck so much for everything over the last five years,” said Devin. “She let southern gospel music get to know the real me, and she let me be who I am. For that and many things, I will always be grateful. I’m really looking forward to the next part of my calling and my journey with Ernie and the group.”
 
I thank God for the opportunity to work with Devin and am grateful to Karen and Susan Peck for their graciousness. Please join me in giving a warm Signature Sound welcome to Devin, and keep Ryan and his dear family in your prayers!
As always, your support and understanding is SO valued and appreciated.
Ernie

Note from Ernie Haase and Signature Sound

Ernie here… wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I’ve been reflecting on our blessings and our trials over the past year and also thinking about the opportunities and challenges ahead. It’s hard to believe EHSS is coming into its 7th year!

With all our Gaither dates past, present and future — and the fact that we’re headlining our own tour throughout 2010 — no doubt we’re entering into our most exciting times yet. I think we’ve built a solid house with room for expansion and that we have a strong foundation in place. We’re about ready to bust at the seams, so hold on to your hats!

Many things make for that solid foundation, but the key ingredient is YOU… praying and rejoicing and crying for EHSS… just living it all with us. I THANK YOU from the very bottom of my heart for subscribing, supporting and caring for us the way you do. Without you and without Him, we simply wouldn’t be. Many of you have been with the “E-team” since the early days – 1996! I appreciate that more than words can say.

To put some money where my mouth is, so to speak, we’re giving away a trip for two to London, England to see our February 21, 2010 EHSS-only show! All the details are coming soon, so watch for our next e-newsletter or follow my Twitter page for more info.

Until then, wishing you all the joys of God’s season and a blessed New Year!

Ernie
