S2:E13 Catholic Playlist Worship #55

It's All About Mary

Catholic Playlist Worship #55May is one of my favorite months. It means the season of spring is now getting into full swing here in Ohio, the end of the school year is rapidly approaching, it’s my birthday month and last but certainly not least, it’s the month dedicated to the Blessed Mother! To mark this occasion, we’ve put together a special playlist this week featuring all songs about Mary! This playlist features a record 16 songs, including a couple of artists not heard on the Worship show before – Fr Kevin McGoldrick (“Lovely Lady Dressed In Blue”) and Matt Faley (“Ave Maria”). We think you’ll enjoy those plus selections from Michelle Romary, WLP Choir (4 songs!), L’Angelus and many, many more!

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.
