2018 ARTISTS' RETREAT
"Developing and Delivering Spiritually Moving Performances - Part 2"
March 9-10, 2018, at Northside Baptist Church in Indianapolis
Doug Anderson was not only the main presenter for the Retreat, he also performed in concert to conclude the Retreat! Doug, formerly of Ernie Haase and Signature Sound, and now of Cana's Voice, has won all or parts of 14 Dove Awards and has 2 Grammy nominations. He shared his knowledge, perspective, and experience with all who attended. Some of Doug's key points revolved around knowing WHO you are, realistically, as an artist, and determining if your "want to's" line up with your true identity as an artist.
