Show Notes
In 2011, the worlds of indie and pop were starting to overlap in new and interesting ways — and one of the biggest beneficiaries of the merging universes was Justin Vernon, otherwise known as alt-folk cult phenomenon Bon Iver. In this third episode of our Vintage Almost-Pop Stardom mini-series — a spin on our usual Vintage Pop Stardom, with four episodes this month looking at close-but-not-quite pop stars during their biggest years — Billboard's Kristin Robinson (of the excellent new Billboard on the Record podcast) looks back at Eau Claire's finest during the year when he brushed against pop stardom, both as one of Kanye West's go-to collaborators, and as one of the most-acclaimed, best-selling and most culturally unavoidable artists in all of indie.
