Pretty much everyone digs Tom Petty’s music, and the man’s massive impact on rock n’ roll has been exemplified since his sudden death with a series of live tributes from big name acts. Last night at the Orpheum in Phoenix, Arizona, Father John Misty joined those ranks when he shared his version of “To Find A Friend”. The man born Josh Tillman did Petty justice with a goosebump-inducing version of the Wildflowers cut that saw Tillman performing the tune solo on an acoustic guitar. Watch fan-captured footage above.
FJM joins The National, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Fleet Foxes, and Wilco on the list of big name acts that have honored Petty with a live cover thus far. Several other artists have expressed how much Petty meant to them on social media, and we’ve penned a couple of heartfelt tributes ourselves.
