S5:E6-9 Catholic Playlist Shows – #190-193

Catholic Playlist Shows 190-193

Oh how time runs by. It’s been over 2(!) months since I lasted posted a new show here to the website and I feel terrible about it for a couple of reasons. First, the show is first and foremost a showcase of some of the best and newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists and if I don’t post a show they miss out on some key exposure to their target audience. Ouch. Second, the show serves a way for Christian music lovers to discover new music and artists to listen to for encouragement and inspiration. When there’s no show, there’s no discovery. Sigh.

As regular listeners of the show you know we’re always looking for new music to showcase in each Catholic Playlist. This week we’re thrilled to have 4 new songs in the playlist! John Finch just released a new full length album titled “Wildfire”, and we picked the title track to debut in the playlist. E.P.I.C. the Band (“Proclaim”) and Pasquale Talarico (“All Things New”) each debut new singles, and we just discovered “Surrounded by Your Love”, a single by Greg&Lizzy released last year for Catholic Heart Workcamp. Other performers you’ll hear include those that didn’t make our guys and girls only playlists, but only because we lacked the time — Dave Moore, Audrey Assad, Jackie Bissin, Joe Zambon, Teresa Peterson and others.

S4:E11 Catholic Playlist Show – #162

It's Easter Season!

Catholic Playlist #162

We let the alleluias flow this week following our Easter celebration a week ago, signaling the end of Lent and transition to the Easter season. Like we’ve done in the past, we lead off with Cooper Ray’s energetic performance of “Sing Alleluia” and then follow it up with “Sing” from Dan Francis. We’d be remiss if we didn’t include John Finch and Andrea Thomas with a couple of songs from last year’s Vigil Project Series #1 album, and Teresa Peterson reminds us that “He Makes All Things New”. Other artists appearing this week include Marie Miller (she’s got a new album coming out next week!), Fr Kevin McGoldrick, Stefania Elsmore, Emily Wilson, PJ Anderson and more.

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.

S3:E29 Catholic Playlist Show #140

Every so often we like to have a little fun with our playlists. This week we lead off with a fun song simply titled “Sing Along” by David Casper. Aptly subtitled “Catholic Love Song”, if you’re a single person be prepared to sing along with the refrain as this song is for you. Lee Roessler just released a new album titled Coming Home and we debut the first single released from it titled “How Sweet the Sound”. Finally, we found a song from Sarah Hart’s new album Till the Song is Sung that we’re digging now titled “Source and Yield”. We hope you’ll like it too.

Others joining these great artists in the playlist include Chris Bray, Dave Moore, Emily Wilson, Ike Ndolo, Matt Faley and others.

S3:E26 Catholic Playlist #137

It’s the time of year when the kids head back to school (I’ve got 3 in school, 1 in college and 2 married off), football season is upon us (yes!!), the weather begins to cool down just a bit as we see the fall season coming soon and in no time we’ll be seeing pumpkin spice flavored stuff advertised everywhere. Whether or not you like pumpkin spice lattes, which I don’t (I can’t stand coffee), you’ll like the music we’ve picked for the playlist in show #137. Catch performances by John Finch, Katy Blythe, Teresa Peterson, Connor Flanagan, Dave Moore, Fr Kevin McGoldrick and many others, including “Joy In These Bones” from Sarah Hart’s new album Till the Song is Sung.
