Catholic Musicians

[ladylinguist]

Does anybody know of any Catholic musicians out there? I enjoy several contemporary Christian artists but I was wondering if there were any that were Catholic or performed songs with a more Catholic slant? Thanks!

Who was the lady who sang We Are One Body, One Body in Christ? She sang it for JPII on one of his visits here. I think it was Dana maybe? Awesome song.

John Michael Talbot I think is too.

Michael O’Brien had some good music, but it is somewhat hard to find. Here’s a link to one site, but I’m not sure how reliable they are.

Lynn Cooper lynncoopermusic.com/ has sung at retreats, etc. for Women of Grace (Johnnette Benkovic’s organization). I really enjoyed her music.

John Michael Talbot is always pretty good. Last Day is also an okay catholic rock group.

John Michael Talbot is definitely Catholic.

I read in either the Catholic Voice, or the Catholic Weekly about an American priest called Fr Stan ??? who writes songs and if i remember correctly, his music was/is very popular with young Catholics. He came to Australia, but i missed him. I think he is targeting the younger generation as i think i read that his music is a variety of styles which the younger generation get into… I did get onto his website last year and read the words of his songs and i did like what i read, but i never heard the actual music…

Personally, I like Janelle (she sang at WYD in Canada), Matt Maher, and Sarah Hart. You can find them also at Spirit and Song site, and at Catholic Music Network.com.

Fr Stan is more like Rap style. While the lyrics are orthodox I do not particulary care for that style of music.

My favorite is John Michael Talbot. His music, especially the older recordings are very contemplative.

My two favorite albums are;

Hiding Place

The lover and Beloved - This is based on St. John of the Cross.
Living Flame of Love, is awesome

You can get a taste here ;
