American Songwriter exclusively premiered the first listen to the title track, which packs a “punch with glistening production and pounding percussion (Jason Scott).” Written by Haase, Lee Black and Sue C. Smith over Zoom, “Keep On Keeping On” inspired the full-length album of mostly original songs that were born during the past year of testing and trusting.
Parade.com exclusively revealed the first listen to the “head-bobbing, smile-inducing trip through nostalgia (Laura Whitmore),” “Good to Be Home,” penned by Haase, Wayne Haun and Joel Lindsey. The title will also serve as the theme song for the group’s re-brand of their popular “Friday Night Sing” series. The second season debuts in September on the group’s social media as well as The Walk TV Network.
In support of Keeping On, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound are also spreading the album’s message of hope across the country on the Keeping On Tour. The 30-plus city tour kicked off in Memphis on June 19. Over the July 4 weekend, the group also spent four days entertaining fans at their sold-out, 9th annual EHSS Fan Retreat in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

Keeping On follows Ernie Haase & Signature Sound’s album Something Beautiful, a tribute to the legacy of Bill and Gloria Gaither, which received a nomination for Best Roots Gospel Album at this year’s GRAMMY® Awards. This marked Haase’s eighth GRAMMY® nomination individually and the group’s third collective nomination.
