SLCene Suggests: Father John Misty at The Urban Lounge

FATHER JOHN MISTY, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Saturday, Nov. 3, 9  p.m., $13

Father John Misty is the brainchild of one Joshua Tillman, a 31-year-old singer and multi-instrumentalist who has played and toured with the likes of Fleet Foxes, Damien Jurado and David Bazan before breaking through on his own via his 2012 debut album, Fear Fun. The folk-rock opus landed Tillman some primo TV spots on Letterman, and he covered the Flaming Lips’ “Do You Realize” for the Onion’s AV Club to memorable effect. With a fine band at Tillman’s disposal, the Father John Misty show has the potential to be one of the best of the year–his album certainly will be getting that kind of hype come December and the deluge of critics’ Top 10 lists.
