Bon Iver
Bon Iver () is an American indie folk band founded in 2006 by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. The name "Bon Iver" derives from the French phrase "bon hiver" () ("good winter"), taken from a greeting on "Northern Exposure".
Vernon released Bon Iver's debut album, "For Emma, Forever Ago," independently in July 2007. The majority of that album was recorded while Vernon spent three months isolated in a cabin in northwestern Wisconsin. The
band later won in 2012 the Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album for their album "Bon Iver, Bon Iver". They released their third album "22, A Million" to critical acclaim in 2016.
History.
After the breakup of his band DeYarmond Edison, the ending of a relationship, and a bout with mononucleosis hepatitis, Vernon left Raleigh, North Carolina, and moved back to Wisconsin. He spent the oncoming winter months at his father's cabin in Dunn County, Wisconsin
