Justin Vernon, the songwriter and front man for inimitable indie group Bon Iver, has had a busy few years. Aside from curating his second homegrown Wisconsin music festival this year along with The National’s Aaron Dessner, he’s also performed in several high-profile collaborations with Kanye West, been parodied by Justin Timberlake on SNL, and starred in an ad for Bushmills that he “regrets.” Add to the list the debut of a piercingly beautiful new song called “Heavenly Father.” Bon Iver performed a moving, live a capella version of the song at the Sydney Opera House as a part of its Cercle concert series.
