#95 Catholic Playlist Show

Catholic Playlist #95Sharing the joy of the Gospel through the power of music is what we enjoy doing most with the Catholic Playlist show! And with the growing number of radio station playing the show and podcast listeners, we consider the Catholic Playlist show to be the most listened to Catholic contemporary Christian music show in America! It’s our mission to play the best and some of the very newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists only.

We’re really excited about the playlist this week because we have a ton of great songs to share from artists like Marie Miller, John Finch, Tori Harris, Ben Walther and Pasquale Talarico. We’ve got the latest from Adam Bitter, plus our new featured artist this week is Taylor Tripodi!

TripodiTaylor is a student at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio and has just released her debut EP titled “Be Glorified”. As for why she wrote these songs and made this album, she says “I want the whole world to know Christ and experience His unfailing love. He is so worthy of our praise, and so, may the Lord truly “Be Glorified” in this music, and may all those who listen to these songs draw closer to His Sacred Heart, all for His Glory!”

Check her debut in our second segment of the show:

This week is not a usual playlist. Normally we’d be playing the best and some of the very newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists only. But this Sunday marks the start of the new Liturgical year and the Advent season, so instead for the next several weeks we’ll be playing the best and yes, some of the newest Advent and Christmas music available, including some brand new releases. In fact, I got wind that new Christmas music might be coming from Tori Harris, that’s not confirmed yet, but if it happens, you can bet we’ll be playing it!

Our playlist this features music from Matt Maher, Marian Grace, Ike Ndolo, Curtis Stephan, the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, and The Boy’s Choir of St Paul’s Choir School too.

Song of the Week – Sep 8, 2014

Jaime Thietten

Welcome to the Catholic Playlist Song of the Week! Our song for the week of September 8th 2014 is “It’s A Good Day” from Jaime Thietten. Jaime was raised in Twin Falls, Idaho, the second of three siblings. She discovered that through song, not only could she find meaning for her own life, but also inspire and encourage others. Jaime has recorded a total of 7 albums and her latest contemporary CD, Love Along The Way, is where you’ll find “It’s A Good Day”. About the song, Jaime recounts how she “only had one day left to write and record the last song for the record.” She prayed that God would help her to sleep so she could be rested for the next day and also to bring the perfect song. And well, let’s just say that it was a good day, and our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week:

#53 – Catholic Playlist Show

Catholic Playlist #53

Welcome to the Catholic Playlist show, where we bring you the joy of the Gospel through music – by finding and playing the best and some of the very newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists. We have a lot of great music in store for you today – the playlist lineup includes music from Jaime Thietten, Andrea Thomas, Marie Miller, Tori Harris, Greg Andrews, Connor Flanagan and a few others. And if you are a fan of soul and jazz, you’re going to really enjoy our featured new artist this week, Sam Rocha.

Sam’s debut album, titled “Late to Love”, is an original concept album that performs a reading of Augustine’s Confessions through soul music. It is not a generic ode to a saint or holy person, nor it is a neutral and uncontroversial celebration of an important ancient book. From beginning to end Sam offers a bold and fresh reading of Augustine’s Confessions where the form is the content, where melody and verse take the place of assertions and argument. This music is truly something totally new and original.

Here’s an iTunes playlist of the songs included in the show so you can quickly sample and identify songs (and albums!) you want in your personal collection. Please note that some songs may not be available in iTunes.
