Ernie Haase & Signature Sound announced the additon of Tyler Vestal of Beyond The Ashes as their new pianist. Vestal joins the group as Wayne Haun steps back from full time to select dates due to his busy schedule.
Anthony Facello has announced that he will be pursuing a solo career and thus the ten year ministry of Beyond The Ashes is coming to a close. For a few dates later this year however, a new lineup of BTA will perform under the name Beyond The Ashes & Friends.
A new trio has formed which consists of StowTown recording artists TaRanda Greene and Doug Anderson (former baritone of Ernie Haase & Signature Sound) along with Jody McBrayer (formerly of the Christian pop group Avalon). They are currently recording a CD and each member will continue to pursue their solo careers.
