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.

Didn’t play Real Love baby. …………
I was sitting in the Balcony and I was so scared frozen in my seat unable to move because I scare heights, and did not expect the stands are so abrupt, I love the sad stories in Father John Misty’s song, but when he arrive on stage and start singing the energy shifted so fast, I never pay attention to his rock songs, but he literally gave me wings that took me to another place out of our ordinary world, I totally forget my fear of heights, his music and his strong presence was something I never experience before! The only thing I wanted to do after this concert is to plan attending another concert while I will be more close to the stage .. jump and scream as much as I could. Thank you Father John Misty! You are awesome!
What a fun night!! Two amazing artists performed in a cool and intimate venue. My first time at the Sylvee. Both artists were so amazing. The head and the heart played my song, Library Magic :) Father John Misty played Mr. Tillman and Nancy from now on so I was one happy girl! Went with a cute boy and friends :) my only complaint is that the bar didn’t have custom Sylvee napkins, just plain ones. I won a free guitar!
Father John Misty was amazing. So in tune with the crowd, and it was his birthday. The sound was amazing. Gave so many encores I lost count. The Ideal Husband rocked. Such a legend.
The band was great. There were about nine musicians and they were all so good ! Some of the best songs were when FJM and the piano player were by themselves. I only knew of his songs from You Tube but after that fantastic show I am a big fan. For his encore he did about 5 songs. GREAT SHOW
Had a blast at this concert! The venue was perfect. A lot of bands (but not all), when they stop in Birmingham, put on really short shows, just to say they came to Alabama. But, Father John Misty put on an amazing show! How someone can be so spot on and introspective, and such a performer at the same time is completely beyond me, but we’re so incredibly grateful for you and your music!! Please come back when you’re able!!
Father John Misty's show at the Lyric Theater was my 3rd time seeing him in concert. His shows never disappoint and this one was no exception. Beginning with the excellent opener, Butch Bastard, who was joined on drums by Josh for the last couple of numbers, and continuing on through FJM's set the show had energy, empathy, and humanity. In addition to the amazing songs, one of the highlights of a FJM concert is Josh's interaction with the crowd. Friday night was probably the most interaction I've witnessed Josh having with a FJM crowd. He even stayed onstage after the houselights came on following the encore and talked to the crowd. His band and his voice were in top form. The theater was beautiful, and the staff there were very helpful. The entire evening was amazing and I'm very happy I went to the show.
Amazing show. In my top 10. Venue was amazing also.
Thought FJM was so good when I saw him in October, but he was amazing in a smaller venue, more deep cuts. He played a song twice because he didn’t think it was good enough. Fantastic singer songwriter of this generation. Crowd great mix of young and older fans.
Venue is just not up to par for an act this talented. Speakers popped and were fuzzy, bartenders couldn’t make a decent cocktail. No mocktail menu.. In order to upgrade to seating upstairs you had to arrive at opening and pay an extra $50. Cashless venue. Will not be back.
Great venue-even better show! Father John Misty is the best!!!
Father John Misty is so engaging, he connected with the crowd and gave a great show.
First of all, the Roxian was a perfect venue for this. Easy to park, not a bad spot in the house, easy to access bathrooms and bar. Second of all; Father John Misty sounded perfect. Everyone was so tight. Their live mix engineer was also on it. I had a spot right behind the mix desk and was able to watch him mix the entire show from about 4 feet away. What a treat. I don’t know who that dude is but he’s a master.
Awesome show - played all of the hits and it was a great venue.
This is my second time seeing Father John Misty. I didn’t think that it could get much better than the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia, but I can’t say I’ve been to a more intimate and enjoyable show than FLM at the Forum in Harrisburg. FJM never disappoints, and Loren Kramar was one of the best openers I’ve ever seen as well. Can’t say enough great things about the show and venue.
His music is even more magical live and he is such a fun performer. Loves to interact with the crowd and dance!
FJM is a talented, multi genre, musician who puts on a very entertaining show. He played a variety of songs from multiple albums giving the audience a two hour plus show experience. My only reason for not giving a five star review was that on the louder songs the sound of his wonderful backing band was muddy and all the instruments were indistinguishable as well as FJM’s voice. Overall fabulous show and I would definitely go see him again.
I liked every song I heard. He played almost all of his last album, peppered with a few popular songs from his extensive discography. Would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys live music.
I can’t say whether it was the venue or the sound engineers but the sound was a muddy mess. Very unpleasant concert.
Although I did not particularly care for the opener, they certainly tried. Father John Misty and band were terrific played for just over two hours and included songs from throughout his career. His stage patter was interesting and quite humorous. My only negative about the show was the volume, which on a scale of 1-10 was set at 11 which had the effect of overwhelming the natural acoustic nature at The Cap.
