Bon Iver is the name artist Justin Vernon chose for his solo project when he retreated to a cabin in Wisconsin during 2006. He emerged from the isolation with an album that became an indie folk touchstone. The gentle strumming of acoustic guitars, subtle arrangements and Vernon's swooning falsetto combined to create a sound that resonated with a great many people and Vernon became something of a bearded sensation.

Justin Vernon's indie folk band DeYarmond Edison broke up in 2007 following which he moved back to Wisconsin and wrote introspective and emotionally wracked songs in 12-hour bursts. By spring 2008, he had a nine-song debut album. For Emma, Forever Ago was released on Jagjaguwar in early 2008. It's the first of three albums. Vernon toured the eastern U.S. and Canad & in 2009, he returned with an EP of old and new songs titled Blood Bank. In 2012, Bon Iver won two Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Album and Best New Artist. For Emma topped the album charts in several countries, and hit number two in America. The new songs were orchestral, lushly arranged folk songs that turned their back on For Emma's intimate sound. Vernon and the Bon Iver live group began introducing new songs into their concerts in 2018. They played at a variety of festivals and shows, often accompanied by the dance troupe TU Dance. After a short promotional run-up that included surprise releases, I, I was released in August of 2019. It received Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album.
