ADecadeWithDukeBack in April, it was reported that Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) would be returning to his Eau Claire, Wisconsin alma mater of Memorial High for a show featuring the school’s jazz band, which would split time between backing Vernon on Bon Iver tunes and accompanying while he sang various jazz standards.
