FATHER JOHN MISTY IN CONCERT:
Father John Misty brings folk into the 21st century with each eclectic element he incorporates into his unique sound, and his charismatic showmanship makes his live shows a must-see. When he's strumming his way through ballads like ìThe Night Josh Tillman Came to Our Apartmentî his emotional vocals and heartbreaking lyrics make alt-country fans feel right at home. But heís just as comfortable strutting his stuff to noisy, spiteful rockers like ìThe Ideal Husbandî and turning out full-blown electronica on tracks like the transcendently beautiful ìTrue Affectionî. With his singular combination of Americana traditions with cutting-edge sounds, Father John Misty is a folk icon for a new generation, and fans won't want to miss the chance to see him conjure up his immersive sound in concert.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Before making his debut as Father John Misty in 2012, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Tillman was busy recording late-night demos in the Seattle-area. After self-releasing two CD-R demos he attracted the attention of Fargo Records, and in 2006 the label released his debut album Minor Works. In 2008 Tillman was tapped by indie darlings Fleet Foxes, who needed a drummer for the recording of their self-titled debut. Though he gained widespread exposure and success with Fleet Foxes, Tillman left to pursue his creative reinvention as Father John Misty in 2012. After a warm reception from critics and fans for his debut album Fear Fun, he set out on his first solo headlining tour. His 2015 follow-up album I Love You, Honeybear was a breakthrough success, appearing on best-of lists from esteemed sources like Pitchfork, Roughtrade, and Stereogum. As he continues to breathe new life into indie folk with his wide-ranging influences and poetic gifts, Father John Mistyís electrifying performances have fans eagerly anticipating whatís next from the innovative troubadour.

by soulshine1128 on 12/31/12El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesThis was one of my favorite shows ever. The venue was great, and FJM was an absolutely engaging performer. He kept all eyes on him as he danced, sang, and made comedic banter between songs. The musicians were fantastic, including a string quartet, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

by SwinginStevie on 11/2/12Fine Line Music Cafe - MinneapolisGreat show! While I have already been enjoying Fear Fun for the last few months, it really came alive in concert. This is what seeing live music is all about....and you could tell that he was really engaged in the moment. He's got swivel hips...
Rating: 5 out of 5by Anonymous on 10/30/12Paradise Rock Club - Boston Amazing show. Best of the year. I wih it was 21+ not 18+. That almost ruined it for me. Being a very small short woman. I have listened to him for quiet some time and I feel the young crowd ruined the experience of an amazing moment. Huge tall loud guy being belligerent in front of me. If not for the young crowd it was the best show I've seen in a year or so. I frequent shows multiple times a year and know some of the artists. Please keep 21+

by radi0head on 6/11/12Mercury Lounge - New YorkOne of the best shows I've been to lately, j Tillman basically does stand up comedy in between each song. Not really but he's hilarious and incredibly talented. Super weird and I love weird. Really glad I bought tickets for both NYC shows in advance since they both sold out. The album is great too.
