A self-described ‘introspective, emotional country kid’ turned indie megastar hits the Town Hall stage.
In the winter of 2007 Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon was writing music alone in his father’s isolated Wisconsin cabin. Then his debut album For Emma, Forever Ago tapped into the zeitgeist. Next came the record sales, plaudits from music critics and devoted fans, and collaborations with artists from Volcano Choir to Kanye West.
Lilting between baritone and falsetto, Vernon’s extraordinary and unmistakable vocals are now the stuff of indie legend. His nine-piece band will take you through both intimate moments and boisterous choruses alive with orchestral harmony. Expect to hear tracks from both For Emma and his ‘ravishing follow-up’ (NME) album Bon Iver.
With talent this big and their only New Zealand performances, you’d better move fast.
