Father John Misty @ The Horseshoe, May 14

Last night, J. Tillman – former Saxon Shore drummer and more recently with Seattle's finest, Fleet Foxes – unveiled his new solo project Father John Misty on the Late Show with David Letterman (see below) to coincide with the release of his delightfully diverse debut Fear Fun (Sub Pop).

From the looks of things, the artist formerly known as "the weird mumbly kid who keeps to himself" is really getting into this new lounge crooner character – unless of course, he simply started celebrating his 31st birthday two days early. Father John Misty will be be getting down in similarly entertaining fashion in Toronto at the Horseshoe on Monday, May 14 so you may want to grab a ticket while you can.
