Last but not least, we’re delighted to have Luke Spehar as our new featured artist – his new single “The Problem” is worth waiting for later in the show.
This week on the Catholic Playlist our new featured artist is Luke Spehar. Luke grew up in a small rural community north of St. Paul, Minnesota and began writing music at the age of 16. His time in college was spent discerning the priesthood in the Catholic seminary and recording his first two albums, “Be Still” and “No Other Way”.
Luke decided to pursue God’s will for himself outside of the seminary and began directing his focus and energy on his music, both in composing and performing. He’s traveled the country, performing for audiences of all ages in concert and at various retreats for youth and young adults.
And now he’s just released his third album titled “All Is Gift”. In Catholic Playlist #56 we’re pleased to be able to play a single from this new album called “The Problem”. Check out the video:

Welcome to the Catholic Playlist Song of the Week! The song for the week of September 22nd 2014 is “New & Free” from Katy Blythe. Katy is a Pittsburgh, PA native who is currently studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Earlier this year she released her debut EP simply titled ‘N E W’. When writing the songs on this album she found inspiration in everyday circumstances. Two of the songs were written in between classes during the semester and another was written while weeding plants outside of campus at Franciscan University. And the song “New & Free”, Katy says was “written after being sick and tired of lies from the Evil One. We are rebuilt, renewed and we can stand on the truth of His love for us.” Here is Katy Blythe with our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week – “New & Free”:
