The Hillbilly Thomists are a band of friars of the Order of Preachers. After playing music together for several years, in 2017 they released <a href="spotify:album:5k6IYHPRPLBDbwN5pzJYSr" data-name="The Hillbilly Thomists">The Hillbilly Thomists</a>, their eponymous debut album, 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, <a href="spotify:album:6f8D8hKToIv9eJqbD3k0X9" data-name="Living for the Other Side">Living for the Other Side</a>, released on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas (the original Thomist). A year later (July 7, 2022), they published a third record, <a href="spotify:album:37VFBeqwYuDJHtv3pYElHS" data-name="Holy Ghost Power">Holy Ghost Power</a>, 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-Aug 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. Proceeds from album sales, donations, and merchandise sales support the formation of friars at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., where the Hillbilly Thomists first came together.
