Born on December 12, 1964, in Cynthiana, IN, gospel singer Ernie Haase grew up in Newburgh, IN, attending Castle High School, moving on to Oakland City College on a basketball scholarship after graduation. Blessed with a wonderful tenor voice, Haase began singing with the gospel group the Noblemen while in Oakland City, and appeared in a succession of groups, including Earthlight and the DMB Band (Dixie Melody Boys) before joining Redeemed in 1986. He became a member of the legendary Cathedrals in 1990, singing with the group until 1999 when the Cathedrals officially retired from performing.

Ernie Haase was the last tenor vocalist to perform with the Cathedral Quartet from 1990 until their retirement in 1999.

After the Cathedral Quartet retired, he embarked upon a solo career for several years. In addition to his solo concerts, he performed from 2001 through 2003 with Jake Hess, Wesley Pritchard, and George Younce in the Old Friends Quartet. After the Old Friends QuartetHaase founded a new Southern Gospel quartet namely, Ernie Haase and Signature Sound.

Ernie Haase is best known for his rendition of the Southern Gospel classic, "Oh What A Savior". On one particular night in the Spring of 1990, Ernie was invited to sing at his alma mater, Oakland City College, in his hometown. Also scheduled on the concert was the Cathedrals. Little did Ernie know that his performance that evening would serve as his unofficial audition for the legendary quartet.

The Cathedrals' bass singer, George Younce, was waiting in the wings, backstage, watching and listening to Haase's performance. Obviously, George liked what he heard and saw because within a week, Ernie was making his way to meet the group for his first performance as the Cathedrals' tenor.[1]
