Bon Iver

"For Emma" (Live in-studio at MOKB/WEEM) from LaundroMatinee

Easily my favorite artist of the winter 2008-2009, which is appropriate as Bon Iver is French for "good winter." You know the story...Justin Vernon moved to his father's cabin in the Wisconsin wilderness after being dumped, feeling ill at ease with his current musical project, etc and just wanted to "get away from it all" with no intentions of writing any music. For Emma, Forever Ago is breath-takingly beautiful, (Vernon wrote all the music and lyrics while in the woods). January marked the release of Blood Bank EP.

Hope you enjoy this...looks like it is performed in a high school English class.
