     Bon Iver with special guest Anais Mitchell

    Bon Iver leapt into the popular music subconscious in 2008 with the now-infamous debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, but frontman Justin Vernon sought to expand the band’s horizons with its 2011 follow-up, Bon Iver, Bon Iver. Hard work and humility (Vernon secluded himself in his remote Wisconsin cabin to write the CD) paid off when the band won the 2012 Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album.

    Over the past year Bon Iver has headlined musical festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits as well as toured across North America and Europe. Bon Iver captivates audiences with lyrics that are well-crafted punctuations to the plush soundscapes produced by this one-of-a-kind band.
