Bon Iver
Don't miss this folksy icon
Why see Bon Iver?
Bon iver are back!
Justin Vernon and his indie folk rock outfit Bon Iver are making waves once more.
Formed in 2007, Vernon wrote most of their first record whilst recuperating from an illness. He spent three months ensconced in a cabin in Wisconsin to emerge with the bones of 'For Emma, Forever Ago'. Lead single 'Skinny Love', a wistful exploration of a break up went on to become a hit the world over. In 2012, the group won Best New Artist and Best Alternative Rock Album at that year's Grammy's for their sophomore effort 'Bon Iver, Bon Iver.' Far from being just the reserve of beardy hipsters, Bon Iver's folksy sound resonates with audiences old and young. They're not afraid to mix it up either, as evidenced by 2016's experimental release 22, A Million.

the best concert I have been to
I have been listening to Bon iver for a few years now, and when I heard he was going to Toronto I knew I had to go. The lights were very cool and he had a different pattern of lights for each song which I really enjoyed. The sound was very well done. It was honestly an amazing concert if you are a big fan I definitely recommend going you will not be disappointed. ... Read more

What? Did I see the same concert?
I've seen Bon Iver twice before and as like the two past shows I was completely hypnotized. They went on stage at 9pm and I had to leave by 10:20 because of early work schedule the next day. They had 4 songs left in the set when I left. The concert was absolutely amazing. A fantastic set list. They sounded amazing! I don't get all the complaints? It was a great night of fabulous music! ... Read more

I love him but
The show it was only him in the middle of the stage and kind of
what I expect, based on the album for Emma Forever Ago
recorded in a cabin. But when looking at all the other video or stills
of what he had been doing during the tour at previous shows it
looked like full production blue lights people on stage. This was an
absolutely pared-down raw Justin Vernon alone, so it surprised
me. I still give it 5 stars because I absolutely adore him this music
is amazing and he's totally tuned in and he's amazing but how it
went from an absolute blowout to seeing him by himself was a
little bit of a let down. I mean at this point the man has how many
albums 7 that right and he's won a Grammy and I absolutely
appreciate seeing him in a small venue still. I just surprised that it
seems as though the rest of the band had just left him on his own
to his own devices. Which are absolutely more than sufficient.
Thank you Sir that was an amazing show, despite the Fanfare I
guess. ... Read more
