Bon Iver is headlining St. Olaf's annual music Lutefest this coming Saturday, May 3rd. Their debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, was released this past February on Jagjaguwar. Here is a description of the band, courtesy of The Onion (A.V. Club):
"Wisconsin singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, who records as Bon Iver (a bastardized version of the French phrase for "good winter"), still manages to put his own stamp on a moribund genre with his quietly startling debut, For Emma, Forever Ago."
