Father John Misty

In July 2013, Father John Misty performed 'Bored in the USA' live at the UBS Forum for 89.3 The Current, a notable moment that came shortly after the release of his critically acclaimed album 'Fear Fun.' This album marked his debut under the Father John Misty moniker, showcasing his unique blend of folk-rock and witty lyricism. Interestingly, the song captures a palpable sense of ennui, reflecting a blend of humor and existential dread that has become a hallmark of his songwriting. The live performance not only emphasizes his charismatic stage presence but also features a raw acoustic arrangement, inviting listeners to connect with the song's underlying themes in a stripped-down format. This performance is a snapshot of Misty's artistry at a pivotal moment in his career, where he was transitioning from former indie band roles into a prominent solo career.
