Ready for prime time: Bon Iver to play Saturday Night Live February 4
CJ Foeckler
Following in the footsteps of celebrated acts like Elvis Costello, Katy Perry, and Hammer, Wisconsin’s own Bon Iver will be the featured musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Justin Vernon and company will make their SNL debut Feb. 4, and will perform songs from that self-titled album you may have heard about. Noted comedian and G.I. Joe star Channing Tatum will host the show, because why not?
The SNL gig will be the first of many ultra-high-profile events for Bon Iver, who will be up for four Grammys Feb. 12, and will play the main stage at Coachella in April. Still, nothing beats rocking the hallowed halls of 30 Rock, awkwardly appearing in a sketch alongside Kenan Thompson, and waving to the camera during the final wistful, saxophone-laden seconds of the show.
