The Hillbilly Thomists are a band of friars of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). After playing music together for several years, they released their debut album (The Hillbilly Thomists) in 2017, which reached #3 on the Billboard bluegrass chart and mostly consisted in bluegrass standards and Americana favorites. Since then, the friars in the band have been doing what Dominican friars do: contemplating, studying, and preaching. They’ve also been writing songs. In 2021, they released their second studio album, Living for the Other Side, released on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas. A year later, the friars published a third record, Holy Ghost Power (released July 7, 2022), which peaked at #5 on the Billboard bluegrass chart. In the wake of the release of Holy Ghost Power, the friars embarked on The Old Highway Tour (July 23–August 4, 2022), taking them through eight cities, from NYC to Cleveland, OH, including a stop in Nashville to perform at The Grand Ole Opry House. In August, 2023, The Hillbilly Thomists returned to the Alberthaus to record their fourth album, Marigold. Released July 26, 2024, Marigold spent 3 weeks on the Billboard bluegrass charts, debuting at #2. The Marigold Tour in the summer of 2024 took the Hillbilly Thomists through over a dozen cities, from Park City to St. Augustine to Asheville to Savannah, to name a few. Always preachers of the Incarnation of Our Lord, the friars also have a Christmas album in the works. Proceeds from album sales, donations, and merchandise sales allow the friars to continue to produce and perform music, while providing ongoing support to the formation of friars at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., where the Hillbilly Thomists first came together.
