Bon Iver is the name of indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon's current band and most notable music project to date. The band now consists of Mike Noyce and Sean Carey. The name, Bon Iver, is an Anglicization of the French, bon hiver (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. While in high school and college, Vernon founded bands Mount Vernon and DeYarmond Edison, both indie-rock bands from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he still resides.[2][3]
