Bon Iver Announces Short Fall Tour
I usually stick to posting tour dates that bring artists to my neck of the woods, but Bon Iver (pronounced “bohn-ee-VARE”) is quickly becoming my newest musical obsession. The first time I caught Justin Vernon, who performs under the moniker Bon Iver, was at SXSW 2008 on the same bill with the Fleet Foxes. Oddly enough, I left that show with Bon Iver making more of an impression on me than the Foxes. What took me so long to finally pick up the self-titled debut escapes me, but I couldn’t be happier that I did. It’s quite an amazingly beautiful and comforting piece of work.
Although Vernon won’t be making his way to these parts, I urge anyone near any of these performances to not miss the opportunity to see this songwriter who will soon enough find himself in the company of some of the most talented and creative singer songwriters of our time.
