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.

But this Sunday marks the start of the new Liturgical year and the Advent season, so instead for the next several weeks we’ll be playing the best and yes, some of the newest Advent and Christmas music available, including some brand new releases. In fact, I got wind that new Christmas music might be coming from Tori Harris, that’s not confirmed yet, but if it happens, you can bet we’ll be playing it!

Our playlist this features music from Matt Maher, Marian Grace, Ike Ndolo, Curtis Stephan, the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, and The Boy’s Choir of St Paul’s Choir School too. Leading off playlist #64 is Matt Maher with “Come to the Water – I Will Run” which is from a compilation album titled “Songs for Advent and Christmas”
