Info zu Marigold

Drifters seeking Hollywood happiness, minor prophets preaching to folks who won't listen, working class sages, and incarcerated saints — Marigold by The Hillbilly Thomists is filled with characters making their way through this valley of tears. It's a folky down-home Folk album with tight vocal harmonies, jumpy banjo picking, and jangly dobro slides that point listeners to practice patient hope amidst the choking thorns of life and that whoever you are and whatever path you're traveling on, it's the Lord who justifies.

In August 2023, the Hillbilly Thomists retreated to a cabin in the Catskill Mountains to record their fourth and most recent studio album of original music, Marigold. Continuing to draw from the vivid cultural and spiritual landscape of the band’s unofficial patron, Flannery O’Connor, who coined the phrase “hillbilly Thomist,” the friars have put together an album that’s at once old and new, rooted in the rich soil of traditional American music and blossoming into a lyrical meditation on life’s enduring trials and beauty.

“Everybody who has read Wise Blood thinks I’m a hillbilly nihilist, whereas I’m a hillbilly Thomist.” (Flannery O’Connor)

The Hillbilly Thomists




The Hillbilly Thomists
Flannery O’Connor said that her fiction was concerned with the ways grace is at work among people who do not have access to the sacraments.

The Thomist (one who follows the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas) believes that the invisible grace of God can be at work in visible things, just as the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, in the person of Christ.

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 (July, 2024).

Touring again in the summer of 2024, the Marigold Tour takes 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.
