A new Bob Dylan cover group made its debut at the Eaux Claires Festival in Wisconsin, and it’s leader is a recognizable face. Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver, appeared as “Bon Dylan” at the festival he started with The National‘s Aaron Dessner. With a band made up of guitar, bass, two drummers and harmonica, the 16 song set featured a wide array of Dylan songs from all aspects of his career.
The set kicked off with “Not Dark Yet,” off Dylan’s Time Out of Mind, and moved over to Oh Mercy‘s “Shooting Star,” and the classic “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright.” Vernon was joined by Monica Martin for a duet on “Boots of Spanish Leather.” Also popping up for guest spots included Phil Cook on harmonica, JP Brooks on organ and Sean Carey on vocals on several songs. You can watch fan shot video of the whole set below.
Vernon also played a solo set, to help make up for the loss of Kevin Morby, who dropped out after the birth of his child with Katie Crutchfield (aka Waxahatchee).
