Hi guys, taking a break from Gen Chat for a minute:

Who is your favorite current artist?

Mine? Bon Iver


Bon Iver is the stage and recording name of indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. He independently released his debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, the majority of which was recorded while spending four months in a remote cabin in Wisconsin. He previously was a member of DeYarmond Edison, an indie-rock band from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where Vernon still resides.<sup id="_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup><sup id="_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup>
