Bon Iver is the name of indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon’s current band and most notable music project to date. Currently the band also consists of Mike Noyce and Sean Carey. The name ‘Bon Iver’ (pronounced “ee-VEHR”) is a play on the French phrase ‘bon hiver’ for ‘good winter’. Vernon independently released Bon Iver’s debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, the majority of which was recorded while spending four months in a remote cabin in Wisconsin.
