Bon Iver: award-winning folk stars

Bon Iver: indie hitmakers

Following the break-up in 2007 of his band since high school, DeYarmond Edison, the end of a relationship with a long-term girlfriend and a battle with a debilitating viral disease, Justin Vernon retreated to his father's cabin in Wisconsin. It was here that the seeds for his brilliant new project Bon Iver were sown, named after an intentionally misspelt translation of the French for 'good winter'. After creating his nine track LP For Emma, Forever Ago in just three months, Vernon toured - joined by Michael Noyce on guitar, Matthew McCaughan on drums and Sean Carey on piano - as the album garnered critical acclaim and was ranked in Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums of the 2000s.

Haunting and heartfelt tracks such as "Skinny Love" and "Flume" led the group's early success, with Grammy Award winning sophomore album Bon Iver, Bon Iver following four years later. With the second album, Vernon's project grew with the help of saxophonists Mike Lewis and Colin Stetson and pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz, and the record rose to number two on the US Billboard Chart and number four in the UK.

Third album  22, A Million followed in 2016 and was again named as one of the best albums of year; this time by several publications. The critically acclaimed record also received nominations for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Recording Package at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
