This coming Wednesday, the good city of Louisville will be visited by Justin Vernon and his band of buddies operating under the Anglicized French moniker Bon Iver. If you haven't heard Bon Iver yet, then let me assure you that their record which was properly released on Jagjaguwar in February of 2008 was by far one of my favorite records of the year. His soft and unpretentious falsetto is one of the most riveting voices in music right now and the subtle and simple instrumentation create an emotive exprerience which is practically unparalleled. He will be joined by a Swedish gent dubbed The Tallest Man on Earth who is almost as exciting in his own rite. The only downside to the show is that it is at Headliners which is a cavernous dark bar which can either swallow the best music and make it feel empty or it can make it seem bigger than it ever has. Let's cross our fingers for the latter. The show is this Wednesday (11/17) and starts around 8 or 9.
