Jump up and dance with L'Angelus!
L'Angelus is the self described "Power Trio" from Louisiana and that is a very apt description!
Their music is filled with joy and humor, as well as a deep sense of tradition and love of family.
My heart was truly blessed by encountering these fabulous musicians! (and my toe was tapping too!).
For a dance around the house fun filled adventure....check out their Ca C'est Bon CD. My daughter says every song is her favorite! (quickly forgetting Hannah Montana!). It's available on their website (I downloaded through Itunes). http://www.langelusband.com/
For relaxing, worshiping and meditation fill you heart with their latest CD: Sacred Hymns through Ignatius Press. www.ignatius.com I don't recommend downloading the music on Itunes because the CD case is wonderful and I would have been sad to not have the lyrics and beautiful pictures of the Rees family and friends.

Following up on my post 2 weeks ago I have found some other resources for great Catholic Music!
Check out Grapevine Online where you can "read, listen, watch and talk about your favorite catholic music"! www.gvonline.net/ Hosted by Massachusetts resident Susan Bailey! I had a nice chat with her on the phone after she found my blog on catholic music. She has an excellent site and podcast that I now subscribe to. Susan shared what she's doing with me and also talked to me about my next pick!
Proud 2B Catholic music festival: http://www.proud2bcatholic.com/Events/Framingham happening on August 9th. Featuring artist Tony Melendez, Martin Doman, Kelly Pease, Zealous, D-Major, Sammy Blaze and others. I am planning to go. Susan says it's phenominal! Contact me if you'd like to carpool. There are also other P2BC events happening around the country as well as other concerts by Catholic musicians. You can learn more at GVonline.net

Make the Connection...using new media to strengthen your connection to faith!
Like music? I do! All kinds too. But I especially love music when it incorporates positive themes, God's abounding love and Church teaching!
Sounds boring? Ah, it's anything but! I have some great picks for you this week if you'd like to start filling your ears, mind and soul with music that supports and enriches your Catholic life!
EWTN's Backstage www.ewtn.com/series/Backstage/index.htm is a coffee house style program that features and a new artist each week. It's on at 11:30pm on Friday nights (you might want to DVR it!) on Charter Cable Channel 96.
www.catholicjukebox.com has several programs and a search engine to help you find music you'll like. They also have podcasts you can subscribe to for free. One called Catholic Rockers is hosted by Leominster's own George Leite!
Also www.topcatholicsongs.com is a website to help you find Catholic Artists of all genres. They've created some mixes of various artists on Itunes under Imixes. It's a great way to get a sample of each artists work and find more music you enjoy.
