Justin Vernon plays first live set of Bon Iver rarities
The stage at the Eaux Claires Festival in Wisconsin recently became a playground for musical exploration, thanks to a standout solo performance by Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon.
Vernon delivered a captivating set that went beyond the usual repertoire, offering the audience a glimpse into some of his deeper and more private musical explorations. It was a night defined by rare moments and unexpected collaborations.
The setlist was a fascinating journey for those in attendance, featuring a blend of familiar textures and intriguing new material. Vernon showcased two unreleased rarities, offering fans a chance to experience tracks that haven’t been widely heard, adding a layer of exclusive excitement to the performance.
Adding to the eclectic nature of the show was a thoughtful tribute; Vernon took the stage to perform a cover of Kevin Morby’s music, lending a warm, familiar touch to the evening.
But perhaps the most anticipated moment for many devoted listeners was the unveiling of new material. Vernon also brought the first live performance of the track S P E Y S I D E from the band SABLE, fABLE. This debut provided a vibrant and exciting introduction to this project on the festival stage.
The performance solidified Justin Vernon’s status not just as a celebrated artist, but as a source of unique, boundary-pushing musical experiences, proving that solo performances can be potent vessels for both reflection and raw, unreleased creativity.
