S3:E1 – Catholic Playlist & Worship

New Shows Kick Off 2016

The Catholic Playlist show returns in 2016 to continue the mission of playing the best and newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists. This marks our third season of shows, and we’ll be referring to them in Netflix fashion from now on and not by show number. So this show is Episode 1 of Season 3 or S3:E1. What do you think?

S3:E1 Catholic Playlist ShowA great playlist is in store for you in this episode as we have music from many new artists, like Jeremy & Ryan, Taylor Tripodi, Aly Aleigha, Fr Kevin McGoldrick and others such as Matt Maher, Greg&Lizzy, Josh Blakesley and more.

The biggest surprise in store for you leads off our second segment. Tom Wilson, the actor who plays Biff Tannen in the “Back to the Future” trilogy of movies, recorded a contemporary Christian music album in 2000 titled “In the Name of the Father.” Turns out that Tom is a devout Catholic and we couldn’t resist playing a track from the album. So if you want to know what Biff Tannen sounds like as a singer – singing Christian music – this show is your chance.

Catholic Playlist #42The Catholic Playlist Worship show returns in 2016 to continue playing many of the best and most loved Catholic hymns and traditional music. Episode #42 of the playlist features many of the artists you’re already familar with: Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, Jackie Evancho, WLP Choir, Dan Schutte and others.

Catholic Playlist #102

Catholic Playlist #102Discovering new music is one of our favorite things about doing the Catholic Playlist, and this week doesn’t disappoint! We are always on the look out for new music and artists for the show, and this week we found Danielle Noonan, making her debut with “There Is No One Like You” from her album ‘The Awaken Project’.

In addition to searching out new music, we keep watch over what’s happening in the Catholic music scene and there’s a lot going on right now. For example Lee Roessler, who makes an appearance in the playlist this week, is working on a new album, as is Sarah Hart, Connor Flanagan and Rebecca Roubion. And Tori Harris has co-written and is featured in a new single released this week called “Coming Home”. Inspired by the coming Year of Mercy, the song is about the prodigal son and God’s forgiveness and judging by the comments we’ve read, it’s a hit. Check out the video of the song that we posted earlier too.

The rest of the playlist features performances from Out of Darkness, John Finch, Greg & Lizzy, Chris Bray, Dave Moore, Ben Walther, Hope and Justin (who we just learned is set to release their new album “Love & War” in 2016) and Army of Me. Enjoy!

Next Week: New music from Andrea Thomas!

#98 Catholic Playlist Show

Catholic Playlist #98A week or more ago I was introduced to Rebecca Roubion and her music. She had recently performed for a pilgrimage group in Nashville as they made their way to the EWTN studios in Birmingham, AL. The group was the staff at St Gabriel Catholic Radio, who were celebrating 10 years on the air in Columbus, Ohio. St Gabriel Catholic Radio AM820 broadcasts the Catholic Playlist show, and after an impressive performance from Rebecca, thought we might want to consider adding her music to the Catholic Playlist.

And so Rebecca Roubion joins the playlist this week as we share the joy of the Gospel through the power of contemporary Christian music here on the Catholic Playlist show. This happens to be playlist #98, which means we’re just 2 more playlists away to reach 100! I can tell you with all honesty that I never imagined that we’d reach this milestone. But we’ve been blessed by God to continue this work because He wants you to know about this great music. In addition to Rebecca Roubion’s song “What Love Looks Like”, the playlist has music from Francis Cabildo, Shaun Garrison, NOVUM, Cody Roth, Dee Simone, Jeremy & Ryan, and others, including “Cathedral” from Greg & Lizzy.
