161: Dan Bailey (Father John Misty)

Dan Bailey learned to play drums in church. By the time he was in
his early twenties, he was the house drummer at one of the
biggest churches in the US, and he was touring with top artists
of Contemporary Christian Music. But upon reaching this
professional apex, Dan discovered that his personal beliefs were
no longer in alignment with the faith in which he was raised; and
he left the church. Now the drummer and music director of Father
John Misty, Dan tells Joe about: following his gut, fatherhood,
the hellish notion of infinite bliss, the dynamics of FJM, and
the eventuality of leaving professional music.
