We’ve got new music this week from Matt Maher, Dave Moore and Cody Roth, plus Dante Schmitz is our new featured artist this week on the Catholic Playlist show.

Welcome to the Catholic Playlist where we share the joy of the Gospel by playing the best and some of the very newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists. We’re so pleased to be able to share this new playlist of songs with you this week which includes a new selection from Matt Maher’s new album ‘Saints and Sinners’, a new song from Dee Simone’s debut EP ‘Lovesick’, and our new artist Dante Schmitz; plus songs from performers like Andrea Thomas, Shaun Garrison, Josh Blakesley Band, Dave Moore and Greg&Lizzy.

As for our featured new artist this week, Dante began his music ministry in middle school and high school, when he attended Saint Joseph’s parish in Norman and sang in a band that headlined youth rallies and retreats around the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Dante attributes his talent and love of music as a clear sign that this is what God wants him to do. In fact, performing Christian music has become more than just a form of spiritual expression for Dante; it has become a way of sharing and growing spiritually with people from all walks of life. Something he consistently hears from listeners after performing is, “I don’t like Christian music, but I really enjoy what you’re doing.” For Dante this is the greatest affirmation of success. And with God’s grace, his music will continue to be a light for those in darkness and bridge the gap between spiritual and secular listeners. For his Catholic Playlist debut we play the title track from his latest album ‘Brighter Than The Sun.”
