#87 Catholic Playlist Show

Catholic Playlist #87The Catholic Playlist show is a showcase of some of the best and very newest music released today by Catholic artists. We have a new featured artist this week – Hope and Justin – and we have cool mix of new and previously unplayed music in the playlist, with songs from Katy Blythe, PJ Anderson, Dante Schmitz, Connor Flanagan, Alverlis, Greg & Lizzy and Of The Tower. We have two songs from Josh Blakesley Band in the playlist too, including the first song “Revive Us” from their latest album “Even In This”.

Hope and JustinOur featured new artist this week is Hope & Justin. Hope and Justin have been playing music together since the first night they met, which was over 10 years ago now, but they are still at it and are joined by what they say are “incredibly talented friends”. They describe their music as homegrown music with lots of soul: everything you loved about 70’s folk and bluegrass with a modern vibe. In 2013 they released their second album titled “Eastern Bound”, and they’ve been rewarded for their hard work and talent, having been selected as “New Folk Finalists” in the Texas Kerrville Folk Festival, semi-finalists in the International Songwriting Competition (chosen among 20,000 contestants), and awarded “Best Folk Song” in the West Coast Songwriter’s Competition. Hope & Justin are making their Catholic Playlist debut with “St Michael’s VW” from their latest album “Eastern Bound”.

And making a return to our blog posts here for each show, here are links in iTunes of all the songs in this week’s playlist.

Catholic Playlist #76Catholic Playlist show #76 comes to you near the midpoint of Lent 2015 and let it be a little bit of encouragement and sunshine during this penitential season.

Now that we’ve been doing this show for nearly 2 years, we have built up a nice sized library of music that keeps expanding every week as new artists come along (Matt Faley, Teresa Peterson, Shaun Garrison, Dave Moore) and new albums are released (Greg & Lizzy, Mikey Needleman, and Matt Maher on 3/17). So we packed the playlist tight this week chock full of great music and a couple of new songs. Included in Playlist #76 are Alverlis, Katy Blythe, Tori Harris, Ike Ndolo, Greg & Lizzy, Matt Faley, Josh Blakesley and others. And be sure to check out the first track from Kevin Heider called St Brigid’s Fire. Even though it’s written about St Brigid, it makes for a great Irish drinking song fit of St Patrick’s day. Enjoy!

Most Popular Show So Far

Catholic Playlist MusicWe don’t have a new show for you this week, but we thought we’d let you know which past episode has proven to be the most popular. It turns out that episode #55, released on September 19, 2014, is our most popular show to date based on the number of podcast plays.

And it is by far the most played episode to date.

So let’s take a closer look at episode #55. The new featured artist that week was Emily Wilson and her song ‘Beautiful and Yours’, along with songs from Chris Bray, Katy Blythe, Out of Darkness, Sarah Hart and Steve Angrisano. But it might be the set of songs from the performers at the Abbey Faith and Music Festival at Daylesford Abbey in Pennsylvania that sets this episode apart. Up first was Kara Klein, then Greg&Lizzy, followed by Audrey Assad and then wrapping up with Matt Maher. That’s a great lineup, and it made for a great show:

Song of the Week – Sept 22, 2014

Katy Blythe

Welcome to the Catholic Playlist Song of the Week! The song for the week of September 22nd 2014 is “New & Free” from Katy Blythe. Katy is a Pittsburgh, PA native who is currently studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Earlier this year she released her debut EP simply titled ‘N E W’. When writing the songs on this album she found inspiration in everyday circumstances. Two of the songs were written in between classes during the semester and another was written while weeding plants outside of campus at Franciscan University. And the song “New & Free”, Katy says was “written after being sick and tired of lies from the Evil One. We are rebuilt, renewed and we can stand on the truth of His love for us.” Here is Katy Blythe with our Catholic Playlist Song of the Week – “New & Free”:

If you like this song, get it now or check out her EP on iTunes:
