A sweet sister on Twitter asked for a post on Catholic musicians, and since it’s one of my favorite topics, I thought it’d be fun to share some of my favorites Catholic musicians who sing worship-ful music.
I also put together a Spotify playlist to give you a taste of five of my favorite songs by Catholic musicians, and I’ll add to the list weekly.

Greg and Lizzy Boudreaux!!! I know them personally and they are AMAZING. Talented and beautiful people. This is a link to something they have been collaborating on with other Catholic musicians too!!! They all rock. John Finch is also amazing. Shawn Williams is an awesome violinist…when he plays, I feel like crying. A physical reaction to beauty. <3

I was just searching for Catholic artists a day or two ago. The Holy Spirit, as always, is amazing! Many thanks!
Katy Blythe! “I Thirst” is my favorite so far 🙂
Alanna-Marie Boudreau is also oh so lovely
L’angelus! An amazing Catholic group From Lousiana. They don’t appear to be touring or playing much right now, but we have two wonderful albums of theirs.
They are no longer a band ?
Ohhhhh Jenna, there are so many artists here that I have never heard of before! I am so excited to dive into their music. Thank you so much for this post.
My niece who goes to my alma mater, Benedictine College, told me to check out your site. I LOVE it! I can’t wait to go listen to all of these artists! My husband and I are also Catholic Musicians who live in the Heartland in Wichita, Kansas, raising our five boys. Our two Catholic CDs mostly contain our favorite songs from Church…and then we’ve also added some of our own originals. If you’d like to check them out, go to http://www.sarahandjoshmusic.com or on iTunes or Amazon! Thanks….and God bless!
Jimmy Mitchell and LoveGoodMusic, Alanna Boudreau, Shawn Williams, L’angelus and Pelican 212, Matt Faley, Shaun Garrison, “Origin” from FOCUS, Rebecca Roubion, Justina Miller in the secular genre…
Steve Angrisano https://www.steveangrisano.com/ Oldie and Goodie!
John Finch https://www.johnfinchmusic.com/ Newbie but Goodie!
Mary Castner, Katy Blythe, Dee Simone
Bri Robell and her brother Brice just recorded this album which is so inspiring! Listen here: https://www.cdbaby.com/m/cd/brirobell
Mike Mangione & the Union, Army of Me, Colleen Nixon (her Marian Grace is a great prayer record), Holy Hooe Music and Dee Simone! The first two are all around amazing musicians with deeply embedded truth and beauty in their lyrics… The other three more overtly themed.
Alex Street! His EP isn’t on youtube but it is on Spotify.
His Own – their songs “Nothing Can Separate Us” and “It’s You” are gorgeous!
Adam & I and Hope & Justin are both Catholic artists whose music isn’t explicitly Catholic –that is, it isn’t worship music or even “Christian” in the typical sense of rhe genre, but their faith is evident in their music. Both duos have a folksy, acoustic feel to their music. 10/10 recommend.
Brian Flynn.

Alanna-Marie Boudrea. She’s actually getting married today (new last name is Mahon). We were friends a ways back and it was beautiful to see where her music comes from.
Pray for her and her husband today!
The Thirsting! They just played at World Youth Day and their lead singer, Daniel Oberretuer is playing at our parish tomorrow night!
Benjamin Jude!
Jenny Klement!
Catholic singers:
John Finch
Greg & Lizzy Boudreaux
Steve Angrisano
Josh Blakesley
Danny Leger is another one great musucian to check out!
Matt Fafrak, Sarah Hart, Out of Darkness
John finch and Rita west just released a song called “Into the Heart of Mercy”. It is beautifully written, and y’all should check it out!
Brother Isaiah! His album, Broomstick, is just wonderful!!
This is the truth!!
Alanna-Marie Boudreau needs to be one here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmHWmfCMe3k
Sarah Hart!
“Marian Grace” She is wonderful!!!
L’Angelus!
Please include in the playlist Fr. Rob Galea http://www.frrobgalea.com 🙂
Thank you for sharing one of Danielle Rose’s songs. For those that do not know, she has 5 albums, one of which is a Rosary 2 disc called Mysteries that she presented to Saint JPII. I cannot put into words how much her music has led me closer to Christ. I find it a deep tragedy that her music is largely unknown even in extremely Catholic circles. Please spread the word.
My hubby plays bass for a Catholic worship band just starting out here in Northern Ireland. They’re called SonLight and their harmonies are simply breathtaking!
Check them out youtube at invitationlovejesus or https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=303164957300 on Facebook. ?
Ricky Vazquez is another one I would add! He is a dear friend that is traveling the country playing tons of retreats and conferences, and playing with Ike, Sarah Kroger and Josh Blakesley at Steubenvilles. Personal fav is Maybe!
Of course, Alanna Marie Boudrea as well!
Add PJ Anderson!

Father Kevin McGoldrick kevinmcgoldrickmusic.com
My brother, Steven Joubert is a Catholic musician and is actually coming out with another album in the next month or two so keep on the lookout! He performed at NCYC and his most famous song is Holy Spirit. Check him out on Spotify!
Scythian – especially if you’re into World/Folk music. Much of their music isn’t explicitly “Catholic” in nature, but is derived from the ethnic/folk tradition that so many Irish/Eastern European Catholic immigrants brought with them to the U.S. The founding members of the band are siblings from a large, Catholic, homeschooling family.
Full of energy, and a ton of fun!
You’ve got to add @sarahhart.
Here’s a sample: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HJhc6axlboY
And here’s when she sang for Pope Francis:
