I interviewed Fr. Christopher Foley, Fr. James Bozeman and Fr. David Bozeman, three Orthodox priests who are also in a rock band called Luxury. They started Luxury in the 90s but have since returned to making music, releasing an album in 2019 and currently working on a new one. We discuss their story, their music and approach to art, how to reconcile secular art with the sacred, their influences and creative process and more.
