Father John Misty Talks Truth on Leon Bridges, Covers U2’s “Beautiful Day” on Bongos

June 20, 2017

Father John Misty is always good for a social media quote and/or clip and here we have one of each as he recalls his recent collaboration with Leon Bridges at Monterey Pop Festival. Bridges welcomed Josh Tillman on stage for a finale of “Mississippi Kisses” along with Nathaniel Rateliff and the singer had some high praise for his counterpart after that. 


For his part, Bridges responded to thank Tillman and call him a “legend.” 

Elsewhere in Father John Misty’s orbit is this cover of U2’s “Beautiful Day” with nothing but bongos and a piano. Bono would be proud.
