Sidewalk Film Center + CinemaAn Evening with The Hillbilly Thomists
Experience an evening of bluegrass and Americana at Lyric Fine Arts Theatre as The Hillbilly Thomists take the stage with a special guest set from Cipollari, formerly known as Cotton Pickin Kids, presented by Fraternus. The Hillbilly Thomists are Dominican friars whose music grows out of a life of contemplation, study, and preaching. Their self-titled debut reached number 3 on the Billboard bluegrass chart, and they have continued with releases including Living for the Other Side and Holy Ghost Power, the latter peaking at number 5. After those albums they traveled on The Old Highway Tour through eight cities from New York City to Cleveland, with a stop at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. They later recorded Marigold, which debuted at number 2 and remained on the Billboard bluegrass charts for three weeks, followed by a tour that reached cities such as Park City, St. Augustine, Asheville, and Savannah. A Christmas album is also in progress. Rooted in the Thomistic tradition, their work reflects the belief that unseen grace can be encountered through the tangible world, a theme that resonates with Flannery O’Connor’s focus on grace moving among those without easy access to the sacraments. Proceeds from album sales, donations, and merchandise help sustain their music and support the formation of friars at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., where the group first came together.
