Bon Iver

According to a press release, Bon Iver‘s August 10th ‘Celebrate Brooklyn’ show at the Prospect Park Bandshell will be his biggest NYC show yet, and…

“For the shows Justin Vernon will perform with a 9-piece band that includes many musicians who contributed to the forthcoming album ‘Bon Iver,’ out June 21 on Jagjaguwar. The touring band will consist of regular Bon Iver contributors Sean Carey (drums, piano), Mike Noyce (guitar) and Matt McCaughan (drums), Rob Moose on violin and guitar (Antony and the Johnsons, The National), Mike Lewis on bass (Andrew Bird, Happy Apple), and a horn section including Reginald Pace, Colin Stetson (Tom Waits, Arcade Fire), and C.J. Camerieri (Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens).

Tickets go on “Celebrate Brooklyn” presale today (4/28) at noon. I believe the password is “celebratebklyn”. Bon Iver’s only other scheduled date at the moment is in Wisconsin.

Speaking of Sufjan Stevens, his Celebrate Brooklyn show is still on sale too.

Speaking of Andrew Bird, you don’t need tickets at all to see him play the same venue this summer.
