S3:E15 Catholic Playlist #126

It's Mary's Month!

Catholic Playlist #126Like I said in last week’s post for Catholic Playlist Worship #55, the month of May is one of my favorite months. First, it means the season of spring is now getting into full swing (finally) here in Ohio, the end of the school year is now just days away, it’s my birthday month and last but certainly not least, it’s the month dedicated to the Blessed Mother! To mark this occasion, I’ve put together a special playlist this week featuring 8 songs about Mary. I couldn’t quite fill the entire playlist with Marian songs, but I think you’ll still enjoy the distinct theme of the playlist.

Our songs about Mary come from Connor Flanagan, Danielle Rose, Kevin Heider, Jesse Manibusan, Fr Kevin McGoldrick, The Thirsting and one of my new favorites is Matt Faley’s take on a real classic – “Ave Maria”.

Here’s the full playlist in random order:

Matt Faley – “Ave Maria” Amazon iTunes
Connor Flanagan – “Sweet Maria” Amazon
Danielle Rose – “Mary’s Heart” Amazon iTunes
Kevin Heider – “Sing of Mary” Amazon iTunes
Fr Kevin McGoldrick – “Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue” Amazon iTunes
Jesse Manibusan – “Maria”
The Thirsting – “Come Hold My Son” Amazon iTunes
Matt Maher – “Deliverer” Amazon iTunes
Emily Wilson – “Beautiful and Yours” Amazon iTunes
Jeremy & Ryan – “Your Love Goes On” Amazon iTunes
Francis Cabildo – “We’ve Come Alive” Amazon iTunes
Ike Ndolo – “Wade in the Water” Amazon iTunes
Mikey Needleman – “Starlight” Amazon iTunes

S3:E14 Catholic Playlist #125

Three New Songs Make Their Debut

Catholic Playlist 125At the end of nearly every show, I exhort the listeners to sign up to our email list to “get the latest news and happenings in the Catholic music scene.” I’m betting a heavy amount that prior to this show’s existence, virtually no one ever considered the “Catholic music scene” to be a real thing. After all, this phrase implies (1) there are enough people making great music, and (2) there are enough people interested in their music to form a reasonably sized fan base. Right now, this radio show & podcast is doing all it can to attract and grow a fan base for the music. Thank you to every one who listens to this show and has become a fan of this music!

Rebecca Roubion Sleepless NightsAs for the people making great music, there is certainly a lot to get excited about. New albums are coming soon from PJ Anderson, Marie Miller, Connor Flanagan and Lee Roessler. Rebecca Roubion just released her newest album “Sleepless Nights”, John Finch has a new single out with Rita West, and the Vigil Project just released the last song in their series of songs for Lent and Easter. And I’m sure there are many more projects in the works too. It’s a good time to be a fan of the Catholic Playlist!

John Finch Heart of MercyThis week’s playlist features brand new music from Rebecca Roubion, John Finch and Andrea Thomas of the Vigil Project debuting this week, along with performances from Dave Moore, Noelle Garcia, Katy Blythe, last week’s new debut from Rachel Ann & Cassandra Acree plus Josh Blakesley and more. Enjoy!
