Popular Christian performer, Doug Anderson in concert at Glenmachan Church of God, Belfast on Friday, 24th June 2016 from 7.30pm.
A native of the USA, the all-county, all-state Indiana basketball player longed to become a college and NBA basketball star, but this standout athlete, who went on to play for Purdue University, actually aspired to a greater goal — to become a full-time gospel singer.
A member of a singing family, Doug’s first love was music, and he believed with all his heart that God would one day allow him to live his dream of becoming a full-time quartet member. That dream first became a reality when Doug joined a quartet known as Lighthouse. But his membership with that group led to another significant bend in the path when he connected with a young member of the legendary Cathedrals, a tenor named Ernie Haase.
Doug remembers: “We developed a pretty good friendship. We had a mutual love for quartet music and basketball. Knowing one day that the Cathedrals would retire, Ernie told me if he ever started a group, he would call me. A few years later he did.”
As an original founding member of the award-winning group, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Doug is happy to be singing night after night with a group that tours constantly, and is in high demand. But now Doug, with the blessing of his good friend Ernie Haase, has taken on new duties as a featured solo artist, in addition to his favorite roles as smitten husband, adoring father, and committed athlete.
Looking forward to the concert, a spokesperson for Glenmachan church said: “This will be a great night of blessing and we would love to see as many people there as possible to make Doug feel welcome in Northern Ireland.”
