Bon Iver’s backstory is now as integral a part of music history as that train Bob Dylan did or did not ride from Minnesota to New York. In 2006, a heartbroken and newly band-less Justin Vernon took himself away to his father’s cabin in the woods of Wisconsin and returned with For Emma, Forever Ago, a hushed, haunting account of isolation that crept into the hearts of millions and took up permanent residence.
In 2020, Vernon appeared on Taylor Swift’s folklore and evermore albums, produced by his regular collaborator Aaron Dessner. In July 2021, the band announced that their huge UK tour had been rescheduled to October 2022.
