Catholic Artists
John Michael
Talbot
An amazing man of God, blessed in so many ways. His
concerts are so peaceful and welcoming. I can only pray to be as
blessed as he with such a sense of compassion and peace. Crossed
Hearts
David and Teresa Smith have an amazing ministry and a great album. This
couple is fantastic! Our girls have memorized most of the songs and we
can't stop listening to the music. It is absolutely wonderful. I am
currently working with Dave Smith on new material that will hopefully be
out in the next year or so.
Joe
Hand
Joe is an exceptional recording engineer and great speaker. I had met Joe
at the CIA Summit in Nashville and was thoroughly impressed with him at
the CAM conference in 2004. His music is great! David Haas
We sing several of his songs at Mass and other liturgies and events.
I love his music! He is wonderful in concert and is quite funny - he
has some great altar boy stories that I can appreciate!
Marty Haugen
We sing several of his songs at Mass. I love his music, too!
We had the pleasure of seeing him with Bobby Fisher in the Albany area -
what a great workshop presenter.
Steve Angrisano
Steve's music is awesome! This guy has my pick for any Christian
music event - upbeat, easy to sing, awesome message - perfect for the
young at heart.
Other Favorite Christian Artists
Michael Card
So many songs, so much to say! I love his music! Michael has
such a wonderful gift for storytelling through music.
Steven Curtis Chapman
Probably the most accomplished contemporary Christian artist performing
today. This guy has his finger on the mainstream Christian
music world. He's got heart of gold and a life full of love.
Joel Hanson
Formerly of PFR (and I guess of PFR again - they are
back together). I recorded one of his songs on Tuning Up and sing
several in concert. I
really enjoy his music.
Acapella
A ministry of Keith Lancaster - one of several acapella
groups - AVB, Vocal Union, Sweet Deliverance, etc... These guys are
awesome!
Glad
These guys are awesome - orchestral acapella and great band
stuff too!
Take 6
In high school I heard "If We Ever" on a crummy
radio that didn't get much in terms of reception. One night this song came on, and I was
hooked to acapella music - especially these fantastic voices.
Other Favorite Artists
Colgate 13
My favorite college acapella group. I had the
privilege to lead this band of misfits during the 1993-94 school year.
Oh what fun it was. You learn some pretty interesting things
spending extended periods of time with 12 other guys in one vehicle.
