S3:E1 – Catholic Playlist & Worship

New Shows Kick Off 2016

The Catholic Playlist show returns in 2016 to continue the mission of playing the best and newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists. This marks our third season of shows, and we’ll be referring to them in Netflix fashion from now on and not by show number. So this show is Episode 1 of Season 3 or S3:E1. What do you think?

S3:E1 Catholic Playlist ShowA great playlist is in store for you in this episode as we have music from many new artists, like Jeremy & Ryan, Taylor Tripodi, Aly Aleigha, Fr Kevin McGoldrick and others such as Matt Maher, Greg&Lizzy, Josh Blakesley and more.

The biggest surprise in store for you leads off our second segment. Tom Wilson, the actor who plays Biff Tannen in the “Back to the Future” trilogy of movies, recorded a contemporary Christian music album in 2000 titled “In the Name of the Father.” Turns out that Tom is a devout Catholic and we couldn’t resist playing a track from the album. So if you want to know what Biff Tannen sounds like as a singer – singing Christian music – this show is your chance.

Catholic Playlist #42The Catholic Playlist Worship show returns in 2016 to continue playing many of the best and most loved Catholic hymns and traditional music.

We feature an original composition titled “Resolved” from James Rosenbloom in the playlist this week.

Catholic Playlist #107Thanks for streaming the show and we share the joy of the Gospel through the power of contemporary Christian music. And not just any music, but some of the best and even the very newest music released today by Catholic artists. Next week the first Sunday of Advent will be upon us and we’re going to be playing only Advent and Christmas music during the season – and there is a lot of great music here too! So don’t miss our Advent music shows throughout the season coming up next week, but until then, we’ve got another great playlist put together with tracks from Kara Klein, Dave Moore, Mikey Needleman, Taylor Tripodi, Fr Kevin McGoldrick, Dante Schmitz and others.

If you’re a fan of country music this next segment of the show is for you! Starting with our new featured artist this week, Wade Talley! We first heard Wade’s music at a Facebook group called Catholic Music Insiders – its a place for Catholic singers and songwriters to share their music, events and activities to help promote their work – and we thought he deserved a spot on the Catholic Playlist.

Wade TalleyWade grew up in Corning, Kansas and where he married his high school sweetheart and now has seven children on this earth and twin girls in heaven. He’s got a great story about his inspiration for writing songs that we’ll look to tell in a future show, but he just released his second album “To Sing Your Song” earlier this month, a follow up to his debut album “A Shot In The Dark”. His songs all center on themes of faith and family and speak of being a husband and a father as well as how to get through hard times. Wade makes his Catholic Playlist debut with “You Can’t Take It With You” in playlist #107. You can learn more about him and his music at www.wadetalleymusic.com

Here’s the iTunes playlist for this week’s show:
