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 Apartment? his emotional vocals and heartbreaking lyrics make alt-country fans feel right at home. But heÃs just as comfortable strutting his stuff to noisy, spiteful rockers like ìThe Ideal Husband? and turning out full-blown electronica on tracks like the transcendently beautiful ìTrue Affection?. 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 MistyÃs electrifying performances have fans eagerly anticipating whatÃs next from the innovative troubadour.
Amazing concert! Josh Tillman has a great stage presence and the band definitely delivered. The Knitting Factory is a great venue, the mezzanines offer a great view and the size feels cozy
My fiance has loved FJM since before we met. Never vibed with his music too much, but seeing him live… one of the best live artists I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about seeing him, just do it.
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.
