Featured New Artist: Teresa Peterson

Teresa Peterson

The new featured artist this week on the Catholic Playlist show is Teresa Peterson. Based in Philadelphia, Teresa is a singer/songwriter and worship leader who is set to release a new EP titled “Freely Fully” on February 10, 2015. It’s been a journey of perseverance and discovery for Teresa to reach this point in her career. As she describes it, “I had my own idea of how my music was going to go. My career. My path. My future. When that didn’t happen in the way I planned, I thought perhaps God didn’t want to use me. That my dreams were meant to die and stay buried, deep below the ground. But thankfully, our God is a God of resurrection. Our God is a God of hope. Our God is a God of faithfulness. It was in this resurrection process where these songs came from.”

Freely Fully from Teresa PetersonWe’re pleased to debut the first single “Calling Me Higher” from her EP in Catholic Playlist Show #71 coming out on Friday, January 30, 2015. We also had the opportunity to interview Teresa to discuss her background, music and inspiration for the new EP.

Featured New Artist: Shaun Garrison

Shaun Garrison

We’re pleased to announce that Shaun Garrison is our new featured artist this week on the Catholic Playlist show. Back in August 2014 we told you about Shaun’s Kickstarter project to record his first album, and we’re pleased to tell you that it’s here! Before we go too far, let’s get to know him a little better. Shaun is originally from Pensacola, Florida and moved to Denver, Colorado in 2001. He’s been involved with youth and music ministry at various parishes, along with campus ministry as a FOCUS missionary. Along with being a husband and father to 4 children, one of his greatest passions is music and song writing. On his Kickstarter campaign page Shaun says that “God planted this desire in me about 15 years ago, this inexplicable longing to write and record original music. I’ve been waiting a long time to see this come to fruition. This isn’t just a “fun project” – it’s the realization of a dream, a major life goal.”

shaun-garrison-2As you know his fundraising was successful and on January 1st he released his debut album, titled “Exceeding”. His sound reminds me of All Sons and Daughters, so if you like their music you’ll enjoy this album. For his Catholic Playlist debut we’ll be playing the title track “Exceeding”.

Song of the Week – Nov 17, 2014

PJ Anderson RISEOur Catholic Playlist song for the week of November 17, 2014 is “Come Alive” from PJ Anderson. PJ is a Christian singer/songwriter originally from Chicago but now calls Nashville, TN home. He’s been traveling and inspiring youth all around the country at concerts, youth conferences and retreats. Most notably, PJ has led music at Mega-Workshops at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) as well as leading worship at Catholic Heart Work Camp (CHWC) for the past 6 summers. PJ has a unique ability to connect with his listener through songs that touch those places deep down in your heart where joy and pain reside in harmony. PJ’s current studio album ‘RISE’ is his 4th and he says that “The theme of RISE is rooted in the call of God to rise and love as He loves; to serve as He serves.” Our song of the week ‘Come Alive’ echoes that call to rise and it’s our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week – “Come Alive”, from PJ Anderson:
