Father John Misty
While other singer-songwriters fork over the meaning of life, Father John Misty gives meaningless a voice. It’s a relief. But that’s just a part of his program. He weaves tales of misogyny, addiction, religion, and the dopiness of show business into his music as well. Alas. It’s called bittersweet for a reason and FJM doesn’t always find the silver lining, but he points you in the general direction. With Brooklyn-based Max Clarke (aka Cut Worms), whose August single “Evil Twin” was produced by Jeff Tweedy.
media release: Father John Misty announced new US headlining shows for September 2025 in support of Mahashmashana. The new dates begin Sunday, September 14, in Denver, CO at The Mission Ballroom and end Thursday, October 2, in Fayetteville, AR at JJ's Live. Support for these dates will come from Jagjaguwar Records act Cut Worms.
Of his recent sold-out Kings and Beacon Theatre shows in New York this past February, Brooklyn Vegan raved, “Tillman is a master showman, working the stage, throwing shapes, and dancing, much to the delight of the crowd.” Meanwhile, the New York Times “The Amplifier” newsletter included his “Beacon Theatre” show in their “Favorite concerts” of the winter, saying Father John Misty is “a sharp satirist who knows exactly when to get unexpectedly sincere.” Finally, USA Today had this charming assessment of his set from Kings Theatre attendees, “Fans gush over Father John Misty: 'I never understood why people joined cults then I saw him live.'”
