Father John Misty

In October 2012, Father John Misty, who is actually Josh Tillman, was riding high on the success of his debut solo album, "Fear Fun," released earlier that year. The album signified a fresh artistic direction for him after his years with Fleet Foxes, and it showcased his distinctive blend of folk, rock, and witty lyricism. Performing "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" live at Toronto's Lee's Palace—what a treat! It's a song that vividly illustrates his knack for storytelling, combining humor with melancholy. One interesting fact is that during this period, Tillman was really starting to carve out his identity as a solo artist, setting the stage for the more expansive sounds of his subsequent work. His live performances, as shown here, captured his engaging presence and penchant for theatricality, making each show an unforgettable experience.
