Justin Vernon (lead singer of Bon Iver and Gayngs) and G

Before seeing super group Gayngs live at the Bowery Ballroom, I figured it was going to be a good show. When they performed in their native Minneapolis earlier this year, Prince showed up for cryin’ out loud! This show did not have any sightings of the Purple One, but I did get to meet one of Gayngs singers, Justin Vernon. Since the band had so many members, I decided to watch the show from the balcony so I could see everyone. Often times, when you stand in the front row at certain venues, you actually can’t see very well. I had secured my spot when literally at the furthest point away from where I was standing, I saw Bon Iver’s lead singer and Gayngs co-lead vocalist Justin Vernon. I think you know how this story ends. Justin was really cool and he put on a great show. Thanks times two, Mr. Vernon!
