Bon Iver X Stuart Carey
Bon Iver has always had a strongly dedicated fanbase but he has always been somewhat underground and under the radar. His second album Bon Iver, Bon Iver got huge critical acclaim and did well commercially too, getting a decent amount of mainstream radio play. He even went on and picked up two much deserved Grammys, though he did shun performing with Alicia Keys. Wise move.
This has opened the door for Bon Iver to perform in new and interesting ways. In the last couple of weeks he has played on SNL and performed a brilliant version of Perth with The Roots. He now teams up with musician Stuart Carey, a couple of pianos and a few hand-picked songs. This 24 minute piece is wonderfully filmed and even more wonderfully performed, two very talented men, doing what they do best.
