BON IVER Performs For Daytrotter

BON IVER stopped by the Daytrotter studios in the midst of a hectic touring schedule this spring to demonstrate some alternate versions of "For Emma, Forever Ago." Justin's story with the making of this record has been well-documented. What occasionally gets lost is what is happening to these songs with the addition of Mike Noyce and Sean Carey to the band. While it is obvious that they are gifted musicians, it is the trio's togetherness that has really sprung a new life into the music.

Listen HERE.

Bon Iver is currently on tour in the US with the addition of Mark Paulson of Bowerbirds to the live band. They will go from coast to coast over the course of the next month, playing with Wilco for select dates. Be sure to check them out!

Live dates listed HERE.

Our New Favorite BON IVER Cover

Since last year when we first met Bon Iver, thousands of people have been touched by Justin Vernon's beautiful songs. While we continue to spread the message about "For Emma, Forever Ago", we often receive correspondence from fans telling us how much the album means to them.

This weekend we received a video from Youtube of a class from Milwaukee doing a brilliant cover of one of our favorites, "Flume". This means a lot to us, too.

BON IVER Performs Another Take Away Show With Vincent Moon In Paris

BON IVER took time out of their hectic touring schedule to do an intimate Take Away show in Paris. Justin, Mike, and Sean performed a private show in an apartment, as well as the tried and true formula of taking the show away.

Enjoy.
