Father John Misty Plays Stage AE (Wed., 2/19/25)

Father John Misty is a multi-dimensional musician who will be performing at Stage AE. Audiences can enjoy a sound that is a little psychedelic, a little rock, and a little folk. His subjects vary, and his songs include such titles as “I’m Writing a Novel” and “Disappointing Diamonds Are the Rarest of Them All.” Until 2012, he worked his craft under his birth name, Joshua (J.) Tillman, including a stint as the drummer for folk-rock band Fleet Foxes. As J. Tillman, he released eight (!) albums between 2003 and 2010. His latest LP, released last November, is Mahashmashana. When writing songs, Misty starts out writing long unstructured passages, almost like an epic poem. Then he distills down what he has into a few songs. Misty is from Rockville, Maryland. Destroyer opens. Doors at 7 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (C.M., R.H.)
