It's Easter Season!

Catholic Playlist #162

We let the alleluias flow this week following our Easter celebration a week ago, signaling the end of Lent and transition to the Easter season. Like we’ve done in the past, we lead off with Cooper Ray’s energetic performance of “Sing Alleluia” and then follow it up with “Sing” from Dan Francis. We’d be remiss if we didn’t include John Finch and Andrea Thomas with a couple of songs from last year’s Vigil Project Series #1 album, and Teresa Peterson reminds us that “He Makes All Things New”. Other artists appearing this week include Marie Miller (she’s got a new album coming out next week!), Fr Kevin McGoldrick, Stefania Elsmore, Emily Wilson, PJ Anderson and more.

S4:E4-E7 Catholic Playlist Show – #155 thru #158

From Upbeat to Silence for Weeks...

Catholic Playlist Show

It figures. I play up a special episode featuring all ‘super upbeat’ songs, which proved really popular, and then I don’t post a new show for nearly 2 months. From upbeat to silence for weeks…how ironic.

New shows have been produced nearly every week since the upbeat show, and I’ll post some explanation as to why the posts have been delayed soon, but until then enjoy this catch up post featuring 4 shows:

#155
After releasing an “upbeat” theme show featuring all high energy songs, this week we take things a little slower, but only a little. Some of the music in the playlist includes “Coming Home” by Joe Zambon, “Even The Winter” by Audrey Assad, “Even In This” from Josh Blakesley and “Innocent” by Francis Cabildo. Other artists you’ll hear include Out of Darkness, Alob, Kara Klein, Tori Harris, Dave Moore and others.

#156
The process of selecting music for each playlist sometimes leads us to find songs on albums that we didn’t notice before. That’s the case this week as we realized that “Curls” from Katy Blythe’s debut EP ‘NEW’ was a really good song. Same goes for “All I Am Is Yours” by Benjamin Jude and “Lead Me To You” by John Trabbic. Catch these tracks plus more from NOVUM, Mikey Needleman, Taylor Tripodi, Jaime Thietten, Cooper Ray and more.

#157
Lent is underway in 2017 and while we won’t be playing songs with alleluia in the title or in the lyrics (but we might miss one here or there — please forgive!), we will keep playing the best and newest contemporary Christian music by Catholic artists. This week we have title track Undone from Danielle Noonan’s new EP, as well as songs from Alverlis, Kyle Sinkule, Dan Francis, Greg&Lizzy, Marie Miller and more.

#158
The latest release from Chris Bray highlights this episode of the Catholic Playlist show. We debut 2 songs from Chris’ album “Joy In My Heart” in the playlist – “King In His Kingdom” and “In The Name”, and surround them with great tracks from Stefania Elsmore, Dana Catherine, Ike Ndolo, Matt Maher and many more.

Song List
New songs heard in these 4 shows are found below. Otherwise, you can find links to the songs and artists in these show in previous episodes here on the website.

EPIC The Band – “Agape” Amazon iTunes
Danielle Noonan – “Undone” Amazon iTunes

Catholic Playlist Worship #84 thru #86

Catholic Playlist Worship

I have some catching up to do. It’s been well over a month since I last posted a show to the website, even though I still produced 3 Worship and 4(!) Playlist shows that have aired on radio. For those interested I’ll post an explanation of what’s been going later. But for now let’s get to the Worship shows!

Worship show #84 dates to February 3rd and features artists include L’Angelus, Liz Christian, The Priests, Sarah Kroger, Michelle Romary and many others:

Worship shows #85 and #86 begin our series of Lent themed programs, featuring music appropriate for Lent. Not every selection fits into the Lenten category, but we put as many as we could into each episode to avoid duplication in subsequent weeks. Episode #85 includes “These Forty Days of Lent” by the WLP Choir, “Ashes” and “Hosea” from Jon Sarta, and “O Vos Omnes” by the Choir of St Ignatious of Loyola. Other artists found in the playlist include L’Angelus, Voces8, Marian Grace, and Annie Karto:

Episode #86 continues with songs like “Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley” from Jon Sarta, “Pange Lingua” from The St Cecilia Choir of Girls, and “Per Crucem” by Melinda Kirigin-Voss. Other artists in the playlist include Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, Jaime Thietten, Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, and Angelina:

S4:E3 Catholic Playlist Show – #154

A Special 'Super Upbeat' Playlist!

Catholic Playlist #154

Each week we encourage listeners to send us their requests and we receive a number of submissions from artists eager to get their music on the show. But this week we received the following message:

I was disheartened when my husband commented that he would listen to more Christian/Catholic music, but found it “sad” or with an overriding down beat. Can you help my effort to have him discover the love of Christ by creating a super upbeat playlist? He regularly works out at the gym, and i’d love to infiltrate his current playlist with songs from your show! Let’s work together to take the Trinity to the treadmill!

With a request like that we had to do it! So this week the Catholic Playlist goes “super upbeat” with selections from Dan Francis, Delmore, John Finch, Kevin Heider, Matt Maher and our lone female artist in the playlist, Marie Miller.
