Bon Iver

It wasn't planned. The goal was to hibernate.

About.

Justin Vernon moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter. Tailing from the swirling breakup of his long time band, he escaped to the property and surrounded himself with simple work, quiet, and space. He lived there alone for three months, filling his days with wood splitting and other chores around the land. This special time slowly began feeding a bold, uninhibited new musical focus...

It takes a special album to move me the way yours did. Bought the vinyl version, well worth the 12 bucks. Classic.

Fort Wayne City Edge says:

Writer Lauren Caggiano and I (photog Greg Bastin) attended the Indianapolis show on April 4. We had been waiting a couple of months to see these amazing and creative artists, who have captured the hearts of many. We drove from Fort Wayne, Indiana and we realized that we want to see this band again. Justin is a beautiful person as so his other band members. We introduced ourselfs after the show and just for that short time this band, that has worked endlessly, is at the top. I have seen and photographed many artist. They come and go. But I wish the best for these guys......It makes you fell that life is as you take it. Your hands, your work, your soul. Then at the end of the day.........there is another sunrise. Guys, what you do today......don't stop. Wonderful performance. We hope to see you in Fort Wayne soon!
