Bonnie "Prince" Billy live in Santa Fe

Experience Bonnie "Prince" Billy live on December 3rd

Will Oldham, performing as Bonnie “Prince” Billy, is scheduled to perform at San Miguel Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico on December 3, 2026. Oldham’s musical output, released under various monikers including Palace Music and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, is generally categorized as alternative country or folk. However, his style is notably eclectic, often incorporating elements of experimental rock, gospel, and traditional balladry. Lyrically, his work frequently explores themes of isolation, faith, and American mythology with a distinctive narrative approach.

San Miguel Chapel is recognized as the oldest church structure in the continental United States. Originally built in the early 17th century by Tlaxcalan people who accompanied Spanish settlers, it was initially a small adobe structure. The current building largely dates from a rebuilding effort in 1710 following Pueblo Revolt destruction. It features a unique floor plan without traditional side aisles and is notable for its “vigas,” exposed wooden beams supporting the roof. The chapel has undergone restoration efforts over the centuries but retains significant historical and architectural importance to the Santa Fe community and represents a key example of early Spanish Colonial architecture. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
