S5:E4 Catholic Playlist Show – #188

Featuring New Artist Corrie Marie

Catholic Playlist #188

We’re back this week with another new show to share the joy of the Gospel through the power of music. And for the first time in quite some time, we have a new featured artist! We found out about Corrie Marie recently as her PledgeMusic campaign was winding down for her debut album. After making a pledge towards her project we were able to sample one of her songs, “Humble Host”, and we knew we had to share this talented artist with you. Look for her debut in the second segment of the show.

The rest of the playlist features selections from Mathias Michael, Teresa Peterson, Rita West, Out of Darkness and others. We picked “Falling Down” from Lee Roessler to include, and we had to play “Were You There” by Dante Schmitz, one of our favorite songs for Lent.

We’ll have playlists full of Advent music during that season, but until then we’ll continue to enjoy the same great music we always do. We go back a few years to Marie Miller’s song 6’2″, which has a strong Theology of Body theme to it, and right up to the present with a new track from Rita West’s debut EP Chosen. Other artists appearing in the playlist include Dante Schmitz, Michael James Mette, Alverlis, Danielle Noonan, Josh Blakesley Band and more.

S4:E22 Catholic Playlist – #173

It's Guy's Only!

Catholic Playlist Show #173

It’s only fitting to follow up last week’s ladies only playlist with a guys only playlist this week. That’s exactly what we’ve done as we selected 13 of the most popular male contemporary Christian music artists of the last year. And like the ladies, we had to keep a few guys on the sidelines, notably Matt Faley, Adam Bitter, Brother Isaiah, Cody Roth, Dave Moore, Fr Rob Galea, Joe Zambon and more. Now if you listen to the entire playlist, you might notice that Josh Blakesley isn’t heard. Why? It’s because they are a band, a group, and in fact they are referred to as the Josh Blakesley Band. It’s a technicality probably, but it does give us more options to choose when doing a ‘Bands’ only playlist! That playlist may be coming your way soon. Getting back to Playlist #173, you’ll hear from Connor Flanagan, Dante Schmitz, John Finch, Ike Ndolo, Kyle Sinkule and more.

Song List
Ben Walther – “Ablaze” Amazon iTunes
Chris Bray – “King in His Kingdom” Amazon iTunes
Connor Flanagan – “Waterfall (feat. Shonlock)” Amazon iTunes
Dan Francis – “No Other Name” Amazon iTunes
Dante Schmitz – “Miracles” Amazon iTunes
Fr Kevin McGoldrick – “Oh God You Are My God” Amazon iTunes
Ike Ndolo – “Land of the Rising Sun” Amazon iTunes
John Finch – “Walk by Faith” Amazon iTunes
Kyle Sinkule – “Saul” Amazon iTunes

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.

Cody Roth – “Colors Left Unseen” Amazon iTunes
EPIC The Band – “Agape” Amazon iTunes
Danielle Noonan – “Undone” Amazon iTunes

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.

Song List
Mathias Michael – “Amplified” Amazon iTunes
Dan Francis – “Sing” Amazon iTunes
