Justin Vernon is being awarded the freedom of the city of Milwaukee. The Bon Iver man has been riding high since the release of his second (and self-titled) album and will now be able to add the keys of the city to his keychain.
The Mayor Tom Barrett's proclamation read: "Bon Iver's music embraces Justin Vernon's Wisconsin Heritage, as he has become an international ambassador for both Milwaukee and Wisconsin, while they travel across the world playing music and interact with national media. The City of Milwaukee joins supporting fans to enjoy the entertaining performance of Bon Iver and commends the band for their music accomplishments."
