Father John Misty

On September 19, 2013, Father John Misty performed at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, a magical setting that perfectly matched his lyrical depth. At this point in his career, he had just released his acclaimed album, 'Fear Fun,' earlier that year, which marked his solo debut after a stint with Fleet Foxes. This album established him as a distinct voice in indie music, blending folk rock with sharp, often sardonic commentary on love and life. His performance of 'Holy Shit' during the live recording captures his penchant for introspection wrapped in rich melodies, showcasing his captivating stage presence. The benefit concert was for the library itself, adding a layer of community spirit to the event. It's a fascinating moment that not only highlights his artistic evolution but also the intimate connection he shares with his audience.
