If you ask how I know, he's pretty transparent about it and posts about it on his socials. Him and his family apparently only converted a couple years ago and he's from a more evangelical background and it sounds like his wife is too.

Anyway I am because it should be pretty obvious what type of music he likes and it's quite different from what you'd hear at an Episcopal church.

My understanding is that this is a punk rock concert where at least part of the program is explicitly Christian? I mean, all else being equal, I would have guessed low church non-denominational, but Episcopalian isn't totally shocking.  I would be most shocked by LCMS/WELS or RC/EO.

I am, as we speak, listening to the Alanis Morissette song "You Oughta Know". If I heard this song at Mass I'd never go to that church again.

Episcopalian converts are a very, very diverse bunch in pretty much every way (except education, to be perfectly honest, but that's another story). And there's plenty of Episcopalians who music tastes wildly different than what you hear at a mass or service.

So I'm a little surprised but hardly shocked at this.

I grew up Catholic, and my music taste was definitely not anywhere close to what I'd hear or sing at mass (which i generally liked btw)

Growing up something is quite different from actively practicing it as an adult.

Completely true. That's why so many people say that they were "raised Catholic" as an identity even when they don't really practice a faith at all in adulthood.

Of course virtually no one at Furnace Fest would say that even if raised Catholic.
