Hillbilly Thomists in Cincinnati, OH

Six hundred people crowded into the parish center at Saint Gertrude Church, home to the Dominican novitiate for the Province of Saint Joseph to watch the Hillbilly Thomists during their 2022 tour. In the summer of 2022, following the release of their Billboard-charting album, Holy Ghost Power, The Hillbilly Thomists took to the road for The Old Highway Tour. Starting at Saint Vincent Ferrer Church in Manhattan, the friars made their way to the band’s birthplace in Washington, DC, and continued on through Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Cleveland, with a tank full of Americana favorites, Bluegrass standards, and original songs. A band such as this is hard to find. For The Hillbilly Thomists remain Friars Preachers even when on the stage, a dynamic that gives each show a spiritual itinerary of its own, passing through this world below unto the bright land of that New City lit by the Lamb.
