If you like parodies, then Nick Alexander is great. He’s basically the “Catholic Weird Al.” I have both of his CD’s, though the first one (A Time to Laugh) is better. There is also a Catholic rock band from Canada called Critical Mass, and they have some very good music. On a secular note, I would definitely recommend the Lord of the Rings soundtracks. The soundtrack for Return of the King is the best, but they are all very good.

Hope this helps. Take care and God bless.

Peace,
Alex
 
My favorite Catholic band is us…Seven Sorrows…heheheh and you can download our songs for free from the internet cause we aren’t’ doing it for money, we are doing it for God. Then you could just burn the cd at home.

God Bless
 
Jesse Manibusan –

not just because I’ve known him since 1985 when he played music at the retreats that I used to go to and sometimes at local churches… and he sang the music for us at our wedding…

since then, he’s broken into doing music for the Lord professionally… he’s got a very full schedule going around the nation…

he was also at the most recent World Youth Day, which I was watching on EWTN tv… and I about flipped when I saw him on the stage behind the Pope singing with others the last song right before the Pope was to leave!!

He’s got a lot of CD’s out there… some he sells from his own Website

www.jessemanibusan.com

Oregon Catholic Press sells some, too. You can get these in CD or audio tape.

If you can buy only one CD, I recommend Jesse & Friends: Live and Still Breathing

He’s got his own rap song on it!! – Another Day

Another Day is also on his CD – Power of Peace

His song Eleison is done in Caribbean style. As is the** Keep Me Safe ** song.

You can get BOTH **Another Day ** and Eleison on the CD “single” titled "Another Day."

You can see his Schedule here:

If you are in Bamburg, Germany… you’ll be able to attend one of his concerts from Sept.4 to Sept.5 this year at the Holy Family church at the Air Base in Bamburg, Germany.

He was in Boston, MA on Aug.9, 2003. See a picture of him performing here… and the write up of the event – a Catholic music festival.

rcab.org/pilotstories/2003/ps030815/Live2BeHoly.html

Here’s a snip from that write-up:

**

Brittany Almeida, a 15 year-old parishioner from All Saints Parish in Woonsocket, R.I., wearing a shirt declaring “You are what you eat,” smiled and swayed to the music of Manibusan. Despite a broken ankle, Almeida was determined to experience the music festival. “This is awesome. I wouldn’t have missed this for anything,” she said.

For Manibusan, performing at such an event was nothing new. For the past 20 years, people around the world have been treated to his version of Christian rock. However, speaking to The Pilot, Manibusan marveled at the “unique intergenerational” nature of the festival. “This is not entirely a youth event, this is a people event,” he stated.**

I want that T-shirt that says “You are what you eat” (obviously in this context referring to the Eucharist).

another one…

“This is just amazing,” remarked Pat Sullivan, a 17 year-old from St. Brendan Parish in Bellingham. Clad in a T-shirt with the words “Just Live It” emblazoned on the front, Sullivan shook his head in awe. “Just to see people getting together to worship the Lord like this is amazing. I am truly blown away by the entire experience,” he said.
 
Danielle Rose is the most incredible Catholic singer!!! She has two CDs, Defining Beauty and Mysteries (a two CD set with a song based on every mystery of the Rosary!), which are profound and beautiful. Check them out here .
 
I have to ask you to check out Crispin. They are a Catholic Funk band who totally rock!!!
More on the contemplative side is Erin Berghouse. She has the voice of an angel. Both these could be found with a google search
 
There are two groups I really like. I have always enjoyed the music from the Benedictine Monks of Weston Priory. Recently, I took a drive to St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, MA. They have recorded their liturgy of the hours as well as Gregorian Chant which they utilize during specific liturgical feasts. It is interesting to witness the diversity of musical styles which these men in love with God rejoice with.
