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.

S3:E14 Catholic Playlist #125

Three New Songs Make Their Debut

Catholic Playlist 125At the end of nearly every show, I exhort the listeners to sign up to our email list to “get the latest news and happenings in the Catholic music scene.” I’m betting a heavy amount that prior to this show’s existence, virtually no one ever considered the “Catholic music scene” to be a real thing. After all, this phrase implies (1) there are enough people making great music, and (2) there are enough people interested in their music to form a reasonably sized fan base. Right now, this radio show & podcast is doing all it can to attract and grow a fan base for the music. Thank you to every one who listens to this show and has become a fan of this music!

Rebecca Roubion Sleepless NightsAs for the people making great music, there is certainly a lot to get excited about. New albums are coming soon from PJ Anderson, Marie Miller, Connor Flanagan and Lee Roessler. Rebecca Roubion just released her newest album “Sleepless Nights”, John Finch has a new single out with Rita West, and the Vigil Project just released the last song in their series of songs for Lent and Easter. And I’m sure there are many more projects in the works too. It’s a good time to be a fan of the Catholic Playlist!

John Finch Heart of MercyThis week’s playlist features brand new music from Rebecca Roubion, John Finch and Andrea Thomas of the Vigil Project debuting this week, along with performances from Dave Moore, Noelle Garcia, Katy Blythe, last week’s new debut from Rachel Ann & Cassandra Acree plus Josh Blakesley and more.
