    With the news of Doug rejoining Cana’s Voice, I wonder what that means for the future of Cana’s Voice???? Ernie mentioned in the video that Doug had to finish some “final” Cana’s Voice concerts before he begins with EHSS in November. Maybe I am reading too much into that, but I get this sense that Cana’s Voice might not continue. I do hope I am wrong about that. They have created some amazing music together in the past few years.

      Ernie’s use of the word “final” pretty clearly means that Doug will no longer be singing with Cana’s Voice.

      Whether or not Cana’s Voice is going to move forward with another vocalist or cease recording/touring was not raised in the video.

        Yeah, the word “final” definitely settled in my spirit that Doug would not longer be with Cana’s Voice.. Even though it wasn’t raised in the video, which wouldn’t have been a good time to do so, I highly doubt the group will continue with a new vocalist. Those three are family. I could be way off with my prediction. I imagine we will hear soon enough. Personally, I would enjoy seeing Cana’s Voice move forward. If the CV chapter does close though, they did give us two incredible projects. I am happy for Doug. He will make an amazing addition to EHSS, again :)

    I do realize that Jody McBrayer splits time with Avalon, but EHSS is on the road more frequently. I meant to include that in my first comment lol
