AbbeyFest

We’re very excited to announce that the Catholic Playlist will be an information vendor at the AbbeyFest this year!

In just three short years, AbbeyFest has grown from a free concert in the St. Norbert Parish gym into a full day outdoor Catholic faith, music and family festival with close to 3,000 people this past September 2015.

Held at Daylesford Abbey in Paoli, PA, the grounds are transformed into a festival atmosphere featuring dozens of Catholic vendors along with food trucks, family and kid-friendly activities, pickup Frisbee, soccer and touch football games and dozens of Archdiocesan, Norbertine, and other order priests hearing confessions throughout the day and evening along with prayer and healing teams.

We’ll be there to meet and greet all of the fans attending the event and also capture photos and videos of the performances of Aly Aleigha, Teresa Peterson and the Josh Blakesley Band!

S3:E20 Catholic Playlist Show #131

Hear New Music from Ben Walther, Alob & Emily Wilson

Discovery of new music and artists is a key part of what the Catholic Playlist show is all about. Missing a show means you’ll fall behind in discovering great new Christian music that you can share with friends and family. Sometimes all it takes is one song to help someone dig deeper in their faith, or awaken a dormant faith, or just give a little inspiration and encouragement in their day.

This week we’re pleased to have new music and a new artist in the Catholic Playlist. First, Ben Walther released his second album titled ‘Ablaze’, a 5 song collection that exhorts us to become a light in the darkness. In fact the title track, which leads off the second segment of the show, does just that with this refrain:

“Let’s set the world on fire, let’s raise his banner higher.”

alobFollowing that debut we have a new single to share from Andrew Laubacher (a.k.a ALOB) and Emily Wilson titled “Mercy Wins”. Alob is new to the Catholic Playlist but not new to the Catholic music scene as he’s collaborated and worked with many Catholic artists like Connor Flanagan, Katy Blythe, Francis Cabildo, and now Emily Wilson. “Mercy Wins” was written by Emily and Andrew and they “hope this song inspires all to love God more and accept the Mercy that is so freely given to us – His mercy that conquers all.”

Spotlight on Lent Themed Music

Catholic Playlist #116The season of Lent is upon us and we hope and pray its been a fruitful one for you so far. This week’s episode is the first in a series of playlists with Lent-related music sprinkled throughout to mark the Lenten season. Some examples include Josh Blakesley Band’s “Here At The Cross”, Sarah Kroger’s “Run to the Cross” and Sarah Hart with “Be With Me, Lord (Ps 91)”. “One Dark Night” by Fr Kevin McGoldrick is another good song for lent, as is Audrey Assad’s “I Shall Not Want” from her album Fortunate Fall.

We’re always looking for some of the newest music to play, and this week we’re pleased to debut a new single from Teresa Peterson titled “He Makes All Things New”, which happens to be the name of her spring tour starting in February. Check out her website for dates and concert locations.

Last, but not least, Fr Rob Galea joins the playlist this week with “No Greater Love”. We think you’ll like his sound and is a solid addition to our roster of artists.

Enjoy!

Come back next week when we’ll have new music from Audrey Assad’s newest release, “Inheritance”.
