Father John Misty

The crackling aura surrounding Father John Misty extends beyond his past life as a Fleet Foxes member under his given name, J. Tillman. As a solo artist, his 2012 Sub Pop debut, Fear Fun, featured soaring, soulful folk-rock spiked with energy and cleverness, notably uniquely L.A. single “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings.” Since then, he’s released a bunch of lauded albums, stolen a crystal from Moon Juice and produced some choice pull quotes. Now he’s playing the Greek Theatre in support of his latest tour de force, Mahashmashana, with Lucinda Williams and Hamilton Leithauser of the Walkmen opening.
