Father John Misty

In July 2012, Father John Misty, the stage persona of Josh Tillman, delivered a captivating performance of "Nancy From Now On" at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland. This live recording falls right in the heart of his critical ascent, just after the release of his debut album, "Fear Fun," which came out in May 2012. The album showcased his distinctive blend of folk-rock with sharp, satirical lyrics, and it really started to carve his unique space in the indie music scene. Interestingly, this performance was part of his tour supporting Youth Lagoon, emphasizing the burgeoning recognition he was beginning to achieve. Fans often recall how his live shows were filled with a blend of introspection and flamboyance, making each concert an experience worth witnessing. The energy in the venue that night surely matched the excitement of his emerging artistry.
