Folk rock divinity, Father John Misty, graced the stage of the Agora this past week, utterly dazzling the sold-out crowd with his showmanship and witty storytelling.
The full band and horns section made for sweeping and orchestral song arrangements—much like FJM’s most recent release, 2022’s Chloë and the Next 20th Century. The whole performance felt (and looked, with the blue and red lighting) incredibly cinematic.
His tour continues through the fall and attendance is encouraged.
