S5:E6-9 Catholic Playlist Shows – #190-193

Catholic Playlist Shows 190-193

Oh how time runs by. It’s been over 2(!) months since I lasted posted a new show here to the website and I feel terrible about it for a couple of reasons. First, the show is first and foremost a showcase of some of the best and newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists and if I don’t post a show they miss out on some key exposure to their target audience. Ouch. Second, the show serves a way for Christian music lovers to discover new music and artists to listen to for encouragement and inspiration. When there’s no show, there’s no discovery. Sigh.

New Featured Artist: Corrie Marie

Debut Album Coming in 2018

Corrie Marie

In Catholic Playlist Show #188 we’re pleased to introduce you to Corrie Marie, our new featured artist. We found out about Corrie Marie recently as her PledgeMusic campaign was winding down for her debut album. After making a pledge towards the project we were able to sample one of her songs, “Humble Host”, and we knew we had to share this talented artist with you.

The bio from her website www.corriemariemusic.com says Corrie “is a native of Baltimore, Maryland, where she grew up singing whenever the mood struck and began writing her own songs at 12 years old. She actively started pursuing her music career at 23 when she set aside her day job to lead worship and a couple of years later she wears a few hats as a singer/songwriter, worship leader, and personal trainer. In all these things she finds that the Lord is always teaching her about her own humanity and how to see herself in other people. When writing, elements of the human experience are broken open and it’s in the music that she is able to learn more about God and more about herself.”

“Corrie has lead worship for her parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Ellicott City, Md for the past 3 years and she travels to retreats and conferences to speak and lead worship and has sung for the National ChristLife Conference for the past two years. After winning the David Initiative, a contest by Catholic Creatives, Corrie was the opening act for AbbeyFest in 2017.”

And now, she’s set to release her debut album soon, and we were lucky to get a early peek at one of those songs and it’s perfect for our playlist. Be sure to check out “Humble Host” in the second segment of Catholic Playlist Show #188!

S4:E26 Catholic Playlist – #177

Hear the latest from Matt Maher, Pontifex

Catholic Playlist Show #177

I took a few weeks off from producing shows to do something a little more important, like being ordained a permanent deacon in the diocese of Toledo:

It was truly a blessed day and one I will never forget.

The good news about not producing a new show for a few weeks is that this show is stuffed full of new music released during this time. As I mentioned last week, Matt Maher’s new album Echoes is out and it’s crazy good as you might expect. Mikey Needleman and John Finch also have new albums, and Shaun Garrison released a new single too.

Pontifex Letters from the WastelandBut my favorite new release comes from Pontifex, who’s album Letters from the Wasteland, Vol 1 is a tour de force of Catholic hip hop. Fans of this genre of music need to get this music in their ears, and if you have young people in your life give them this music. It may reach them in a way that no other kind of music can. I picked “New Day” to share in the playlist because it has the best sound for Catholic radio, a place where hip hop/rap is never heard. Enjoy!

Song List
Shaun Garrison – “All Shall Be Well” Amazon iTunes
Pontifex – “New Day (feat Jessica Ashley Karpov)” Amazon iTunes
Matt Maher – “Faithfulness (feat Steffany Gretzinger)” Amazon iTunes
Pasquale Talarico – “All Things New” Amazon iTunes
John Finch – “Send Out Your Spirit” Amazon iTunes
Mikey Needleman – “Healing in the Waters” Amazon iTunes
The Mosleys – “High Places” Amazon iTunes
E.P.I.C the Band – “Proclaim” Amazon iTunes
Aly Aleigha – “Race Along (feat Justin Kostecka)” Amazon iTunes
Taylor Tripodi – “Be Glorified (feat Brendan Tobin)” Amazon iTunes
Matt Faley – “The Only Light” Amazon iTunes

New Featured Artist: The Mosleys

The Mosleys

This week we’re pleased to introduce you to The Mosleys, our new featured artist this week in episode #175 of the Catholic Playlist. Hailing from Florida where they’re music ministers at their home parish, the married songwriting duo of Rachel and Stephen Mosley have managed to nurture their budding music careers while also nurturing their 5 young children.

It all started for them after winning an open mic competition at Zac Brown’s Southern Grounds in Senoia, Georgia. With their studio time prize they recorded their first EP, Beneath the Trees and Stars, in 2015 at Zac Brown’s Crow’s Nest Studio in Atlanta. Since then they’ve been busy playing festivals and stages, sharing the stage with such talent as Liz Longley, Harpeth Rising, and Air Supply, and many others.

The Mosleys Ordinary TimeTheir first full length album titled “Ordinary Time” was released in June 2017 following a successful PledgeMusic campaign. Produced by Phil Madeira and Jimmy Abegg (one of Rich Mullins’ ragamuffins by the way), the album is a slice of Americana folk that fans of the genre will enjoy right away.

And while their music isn’t expressly Catholic or religious in the sense of Christian music, it is certainly informed by their Catholic worldview and contains many themes that resonate with what it means to live the Christian life (You can say the same thing about Marie Miller’s latest album “Letterbox”).

To learn more about The Mosleys, check out their website – www.themosleysmusic.com. And don’t miss reading their blog too, which offers a poignant and sometimes hilarious look into the life of a traveling musical family.
