Father John Misty

On October 22, 2013, Father John Misty performed 'Everyman Needs a Companion' live at Union Transfer in Philadelphia. This recording comes shortly after the release of his critically acclaimed album 'Fear Fun,' which hit shelves just a year earlier in May 2012. By this point, the artist, whose real name is Josh Tillman, was already garnering attention for his unique blend of folk-rock, intricate lyrics, and charismatic stage presence. The intimate setting of Union Transfer underscores the personal nature of his music, almost as if he’s sharing secrets with his audience. Plus, it’s interesting to note that Misty's style draws on his history with Fleet Foxes, giving fans a dual-layered appreciation for his work as both a solo artist and a band member. This live performance adds a rich texture to the track, highlighting the emotional depth that fans have come to love.
