Help Father McGoldrick Make His Music

Fr Kevin McGoldrick

If there was one crowdfunding project you were going to support this year, your wait is over. If you’ve never pledged a dollar to help an artist make their art, now is the time to pledge.

Meet Fr Kevin McGoldrick, a Catholic priest. According to his website, “I’ve been a priest for over 10 years and a musician for over 30. When I became a priest, I thought I would have to give up music. But the Lord gave this gift back to me. Over the past 3–4 years, I’ve entered a new phase in my musical journey. I’m recording my first album, entitled “Square Peg Round Hole,” with the help of some talented and faith-filled musicians in Nashville, Tennessee.” Fr Kevin is a very talented artist and deserves to make his music and have it heard.

But he needs your help.

Visit his project page at IndieGoGo here, find out more about him and make a pledge today.

Don’t wait, just do it. The deadline is July 21st. And then we’ll get to play and promote his music!

#46 – Catholic Playlist Show

Catholic Playlist Show

Welcome to another Catholic Playlist show – playing the best and newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists. Our playlist today has songs from Collin Raye, Chris Bray, Marie Miller, SimplyRC, Sarah Kroger, Army of Me, Alanna-Marie Boudreau and Audrey Assad.

Leading off the show this week is Tori Harris. First congratulations to Tori as her new EP Sweet Dolor rose to #2 on the iTunes Gospel & Christian chart on Tuesday, she’s doing interviews with all sorts of radio stations, and is appearing this weekend in Oshkosh, WI at Lifest with big name acts like Casting Crowns, Toby Mac, Mandisa – in fact she’s the only Catholic artist there, so kudos to her! I think she’s set to breakout and songs like ‘King of Kings’ will make it happen. Enjoy the show!

What do you think of the show? What song would you like to hear in the next show? Comment and let us know!

Song of the Week – July 7, 2014

Greg & Lizzy

Our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week for July 7th comes from Greg & Lizzy. Right now Greg & Lizzy are on the road playing shows across the country, including a stop in Toledo, OH on Sunday July 27th for Exclaim!, the largest Christian music festival in Northwest Ohio. Last year Greg & Lizzy released their first album titled “To The Dust”. Drawing largely from Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and their own experiences of relationship, love, and marriage, they share a witness unique in both it’s ability to inspire their peers and to remind their elders of the goodness of God’s plan for life and love. The title track from that album is our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week – “To The Dust”

The Thirsting Tour Bus

Saw this posted today at the GoFundMe.com crowdfunding site and had to share it with you. That picture is a tour bus that The Thirsting is hoping to be able to purchase to replace their old tour transportation that met its demise on I-5 just outside of Longview, WA, on their way to a youth rally in Spokane, WA. Without the proper transportation, they will have a very difficult time getting to the more than 25 shows they’ve have booked this Fall that will take them throughout the nation, including the National Conference of Catholic Youth Ministers (NCCYM). Check out their post on GoFundMe here and consider helping them reach their goal.

New Album from Tori HarrisIntroducing a new feature we are calling the “Catholic Playlist Song of the Week.” I’m sure many of you who enjoy the weekly one hour show often don’t have that kind of time to listen to the entire Catholic Playlist show.

Each Monday, we’ll select a song of the week and post it here. We’ll probably make it available on the mobile apps too. Have a listen and if you like it, share it with your friends who you think will enjoy it as much as you do. Then if you have time, check out the full show and all the great music we have there.

Our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week for June 30th is “King of Kings” from Tori Harris who is releasing a new album on July 8th called ‘Sweet Dolor’. Pre-order now on iTunes or get it on July 8th!
