Father John Misty

On November 2, 2013, Father John Misty performed "Holy Shit" live at the iconic Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, right on the heels of his acclaimed album, "Fear Fun," which dropped earlier that year, in May. This performance was a pivotal moment for him as he was just beginning to carve out his niche in the indie-folk scene, showcasing his unique blend of wit and introspection. With his charismatic stage presence, Misty captured the audience's attention, turning a simple acoustic set into a profound experience. Interestingly, many fans celebrate this live rendition for its raw emotional depth, which perfectly encapsulates the themes of vulnerability found throughout "Fear Fun." This period marked a significant rise in his career, as he started to emerge from the shadows of his earlier work with Fleet Foxes, ultimately establishing himself as a formidable solo artist.
