Father John Misty

On May 8, 2017, Father John Misty delivered a captivating performance of "Total Entertainment Forever" at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City. By this time, he was riding high on the success of his third studio album, "Pure Comedy," released just a few weeks prior in April. This album, known for its lush production and poignant commentary on modern life, reflected a significant evolution in his artistry, showcasing a deeper reflection on existential themes. Interestingly, Misty, whose real name is Josh Tillman, often blends humor and introspection, making his live shows a compelling experience. Recording in an intimate venue like Rockwood allowed for a close connection with the audience, enhancing the satirical bite of his lyrics—a contrast that resonates strikingly well during live performances.
