Ernie Haase & Signature Sound

I attended a Gaither Homecoming a week ago (Friday) in Tacoma, not really knowing what to expect. I love quartet singing and gospel quartets are a new interest of mine. They are very different from barbershop for a couple of reasons:

1.) Vibrato while singing
2.) Very low bass parts
3.) Very high tenor parts, in chest voice
4.) Most of the time, they are accompanied

Anyway, I was blown away by the high level of singing the groups displayed. Below is one of the groups that I really liked. Ernie Haase has been singing professional gospel tenor for 20+ years and he's got a phenomenal range. I've seen videos of him going up to a high F in chest voice! There's something about the power in their voices that is very appealing, even if the music style is a little southern. :P
