Song of the Week – July 28, 2014

Ike Ndolo Band

Our song for the last week of July 2014 is “Wade in the Water” from Ike Ndolo. One of our personal favorite songs, “Wade in the Water” is a new version of a classic spiritual that shows the full depth of his musical background and abilities. The song comes from his 2009 debut album “We Are the Beggars”, which jumps out and grabs you with both its intensity and its strong lyrical content. Which describes our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week pretty well – “Wade in the Water” from Ike Ndolo:

New Featured Artist: Jaime Thietten

Jamie Thietten

This week on the Catholic Playlist show our new featured artist is Jaime Thietten. Jaime was raised in Twin Falls, Idaho, the second of three siblings, and started singing at age 2. She was performing solos publicly by 13 and eventually discovered that through song, not only could she find meaning for her own life, but also inspire and encourage others. Jaime has recorded a total of 7 albums and her latest contemporary CD, Love Along The Way, brings together a collection of songs that encompass not only her desire to encourage others, but also a look into the heart of a woman who has experienced her share of pain.

We’ll be playing her song “Surrendering”, a simple reminder that God is in control and because of that, we can surrender and allow his love to lead us to something beautiful. She says that “My hope for this record is that it brings joy, peace and motivates people to let love be what drives them to meet the needs of those that are hurting…the title of the album is exactly what I want this record to convey.”

You can learn more about Jaime, her music and her pro-life work at her website jtmusic.net.

You can pick up her album right now here on iTunes:

Please join us in welcomeing Jaime to the Catholic Playlist Show!

New Featured Artist: Katy Blythe

Katy Blythe

This week on the Catholic Playlist show we are featuring Katy Blythe, who just released her debut EP ‘N E W’. Currently studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Katy had the opportunity to grow as a musician when she did mission work with NET Ministries and was able to lead worship everyday.

According to Katy, “The reason this EP is called ‘N E W’ is because of how I recognized this Spring that the Lord doesn’t just free us from the chains that bind us, but He then gives us new hearts. New experiences. New outlooks. He makes us into a new creation. The journey to a new version of you is messy, but the rebuilt “you” is far better than who you were yesterday.”

Most of her songs were written in everyday circumstances, such as time between classes or working outside on campus. The song we’ll be playing on the next Catholic Playlist show is called “New & Free”, which Katy says “was written after being sick and tired of lies from the Evil One. We are rebuilt renewed and we can stand on the truth of His love for us.”

If you can’t wait for the show, you can pick up her new EP right now on iTunes:

Song of the Week – July 14, 2014

Kevin Heider

The Catholic Playlist Song of the Week for July 14th comes from Kevin Heider. Kevin is from Dayton, OH and was recently featured on the Catholic Playlist show, in episode #44. His most recent album release is in fact a double album called ‘The Spark’. And in an age of 4 or 5 song EPs, enough content to fill a double album is quite ambitious! Our song of the week is ‘The Great Flood’, and if you listen closely, the subtle beat behind the song is an actual recording of Kevin’s unborn nephew’s heartbeat. And it’s our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week – The Great Flood from Kevin Heider.

Help Father McGoldrick Make His Music

Fr Kevin McGoldrick

If there was one crowdfunding project you were going to support this year, your wait is over. If you’ve never pledged a dollar to help an artist make their art, now is the time to pledge.

Meet Fr Kevin McGoldrick, a Catholic priest. According to his website, “I’ve been a priest for over 10 years and a musician for over 30. When I became a priest, I thought I would have to give up music. But the Lord gave this gift back to me. Over the past 3–4 years, I’ve entered a new phase in my musical journey. I’m recording my first album, entitled “Square Peg Round Hole,” with the help of some talented and faith-filled musicians in Nashville, Tennessee.” Fr Kevin is a very talented artist and deserves to make his music and have it heard.

But he needs your help.

Visit his project page at IndieGoGo here, find out more about him and make a pledge today.

Don’t wait, just do it. The deadline is July 21st. And then we’ll get to play and promote his music!

Leading off the show this week is Tori Harris.
