Father John Misty

On May 16, 2017, Father John Misty took to the intimate stage at Icehouse in Minneapolis to deliver a heartfelt rendition of his song "Pure Comedy." This performance came shortly after the release of his critically acclaimed album of the same name, which hit the shelves just two months before, in April 2017. Dive into the layers of this album, and you'll discover themes that tackle modern existence, social commentary, and the complexities of love and life—crafted with Misty's signature wit and poignant lyricism. An interesting fact? This microshow was part of a series by The Current, aiming to spotlight artists in close-knit settings, allowing fans to experience the rawness of live music. It's a perfect testament to Misty’s evolution as an artist, bridging his earlier folk roots with a more theatrical and reflective sound.
