Overview
The critically acclaimed Bon Iver have today announced that they will be one of the first live music acts to perform a very special and intimate show at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre on the 7th December.
Bon Iver (an intentional mis-spelling / adaptation of 'Bon Hiver', French for 'Good Winter') is the work of Justin Vernon, a former member of Wisconsin quartet DeYarmond Edison. Vernon, who wrote the material in 2006 whilst living in a log cabin, used very little equipment - just a couple of microphones, a baritone guitar, two drums, a horn, a reverb pedal. These few items, when combined with enough space, allowed the songs that form this record become far more than sum of their parts.
Vernon explains : "I recognize that the record is enigmatic and special in a strange way. I can't take full credit for it, and I was the only one there."
