If ever you are feeling a little overly-stressed and like you need to bring a calm and serene element into your life, then throw on some Bon Iver and let them take you there. This indie folk/indie rock/folk rock band from the cheese state (Wisconsin) has been around since 2006, but just last night won the 2012 Grammy for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album!
Comprised of Justin Vernon, Michael Noyce, Sean Carey, Matthew McCaughan, C.J. Camerieri, Michael Lewis, Colin Stetson, Greg Leisz, Rob Moose, and Reginald Pace, Bon Iver creates some of the most beautiful music my ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing. The name Bon Iver comes from the French "bon hiver," meaning "good winter," which is fitting because their songs are perfect for those chilly winter days spent inside by the fire. Their music can take you to a happy, nostalgic, sad, and excited place, and is sure to take you to a place of wonder at Coachella 2012 where they will be playing on Saturday, April 14th and 21st.
