We have another great lineup for you this week, with music from Andrea Thomas, Sarah Hart, Tom Booth, Francis Cabildo and others, including Matt Maher who is arguably the biggest name in Catholic Christian contemporary music. I want you all to be aware that on January 23rd he used his Facebook page to announce a new studio album. In that little post, he simply wrote: “Excited to announce a new studio album “Saint and Sinners” releasing March 17th”. This will be his 8th album and is looking to extend his streak of 4 straight top 10 finishes on the Christian charts. A good song for Lent from Matt starts playlist show #75 – “Lay It Down”:

Most Popular Show So Far
We don’t have a new show for you this week, but we thought we’d let you know which past episode has proven to be the most popular. It turns out that episode #55, released on September 19, 2014, is our most popular show to date based on the number of podcast plays.
And it is by far the most played episode to date.
So let’s take a closer look at episode #55. The new featured artist that week was Emily Wilson and her song ‘Beautiful and Yours’, along with songs from Chris Bray, Katy Blythe, Out of Darkness, Sarah Hart and Steve Angrisano. But it might be the set of songs from the performers at the Abbey Faith and Music Festival at Daylesford Abbey in Pennsylvania that sets this episode apart. Up first was Kara Klein, then Greg&Lizzy, followed by Audrey Assad and then wrapping up with Matt Maher. That’s a great lineup, and it made for a great show:

Song of the Week – January 26, 2015
Welcome to the Catholic Playlist Song of the Week! Our song for the week of January 26th 2015 is “Bridge To Your Heart” from John Finch. When John was a child in his hometown of Pearl River, Louisiana, he grew up sitting at the piano spending countless hours crafting his own music creations. All of those hours led to the September 2013 release of his first record, Broken Steeples. In 2014, he went to Nashville to begin creating a new music project and in November released a new single titled “Bridge to Your Heart,” It’s a song of forgiveness and rekindling love through our faults, and it’s our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week – Bridge to Your Heart, from John Finch:
