Catholic Playlist #101

Catholic Playlist #100September 29 happened to be National Coffee Day. ‘Coffee’ also happens to be the first radio single from Fr Kevin McGoldrick’s new albulm ‘Square Peg, Round Hole’ (pre-order here or here). Inspired by these facts, we decided to open this week’s playlist episode with a set of songs that set the tone for a great day. So if you’ve been looking for some ‘wake up’ morning music to get you inspired to take on the day, pay close attention to our first segment of the show.

Performers in this week’s playlist include Sarah Kroger, Kevin Heider, Rebecca Roubion, Steve Angrisano, Donny Todd, and Kara Klein. Stick around to the end of the show too as the last segment of the show features an eclectic mix of music that includes tracks from ooberfuse, Delmore and Benedictio. Enjoy!

Catholic Playlist #100

Catholic Playlist #100It’s our 100th episode! It’s been a joy to produce and host the Catholic Playlist from the beginning, and this week for our 100th playlist we take a look back and celebrate some of the best and newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists that we’ve discovered and enjoyed along the way. We start the playlist with some of the most familiar names in the industry and then transition to some of our favorite new artists that we’ve all come to enjoy – Tori Harris, Connor Flanagan, PJ Anderson, Matt Faley, Alverlis, Katy Blythe, Dante Schmitz, and Taylor Tripodi. We also celebrate the diversity of the music to be found these days as Catholic hip hop artist Pontifex, aka Fr Claude Burns, makes an appearance in the playlist.

Kevin McGoldrickPlus we are so excited to debut a song from our new featured artist this week, Fr Kevin McGoldrick. His new album “Square Peg, Round Hole” is available for pre-order right now on iTunes and Amazon and we highly recommend it to our listeners! It’s a bluesy and joyful work of art with 10 amazing songs that bring the true, the good and the beautiful right into your ears.

You know, when first started the Catholic Playlist we didn’t know of very many contemporary Catholic artists so those we did know were featured quited often in the early playlists, starting with Matt Maher, who really needs no introduction:

#98 Catholic Playlist Show

Catholic Playlist #98A week or more ago I was introduced to Rebecca Roubion and her music. She had recently performed for a pilgrimage group in Nashville as they made their way to the EWTN studios in Birmingham, AL. The group was the staff at St Gabriel Catholic Radio, who were celebrating 10 years on the air in Columbus, Ohio. St Gabriel Catholic Radio AM820 broadcasts the Catholic Playlist show, and after an impressive performance from Rebecca, thought we might want to consider adding her music to the Catholic Playlist.

And so Rebecca Roubion joins the playlist this week as we share the joy of the Gospel through the power of contemporary Christian music here on the Catholic Playlist show. This happens to be playlist #98, which means we’re just 2 more playlists away to reach 100! I can tell you with all honesty that I never imagined that we’d reach this milestone. But we’ve been blessed by God to continue this work because He wants you to know about this great music. In addition to Rebecca Roubion’s song “What Love Looks Like”, the playlist has music from Francis Cabildo, Shaun Garrison, NOVUM, Cody Roth, Dee Simone, Jeremy & Ryan, and others, including “Cathedral” from Greg & Lizzy.
