August 5, 2024

11:55 a.m. Grammy-winning Eau Claire, Wis. indie rock band Bon Iver will join Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign rally in Eau Claire on Wednesday, the campaign announced. The rally will be held at Carson Park in Eau Claire and is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Bon Iver is set to perform at the rally as part of Harris' ongoing effort to energize voters ahead of the 2024 election. The band has been a vocal supporter of Harris and has performed at several of her campaign events. The Eau Claire stop is part of a string of swing state campaign rallies that Harris has scheduled as she kicks off her bid for reelection. Harris is expected to make stops in several other key states in the coming weeks. The vice president is continuing to employ high-profile musical acts to help boost her campaign. In recent months, she has been joined by artists such as John Legend, Lizzo, and Billie Eilish. The use of music and celebrity endorsements is a common strategy for political campaigns. By tapping into the popularity of popular artists, campaigns can reach a wider audience and generate excitement for their candidates. Bon Iver is one of the most successful bands to come out of Eau Claire in recent years. The band's 2011 album, "Bon Iver," won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The band has since released two more albums, "22, A Million" and "i,i," both of which were nominated for Grammy Awards. Bon Iver's music is known for its lush harmonies and atmospheric sound. The band's songs have been used in several films and television shows, including "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" and "The Leftovers." Tickets for the Eau Claire rally are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
