For the outstanding work of 22, A Million, Eau Claire’s own Bon Iver is yet again nominated for a couple Grammys, one for Best Alternative Music Album and another to the band and visual artist Eric Timothy Carlson for Best Recording Packaging.

Bon Iver and Justin Vernon are no stranger to the music industry awards show, as the band was nominated for four and won two – for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album – in 2012 for Bon Iver, Bon Iver. 

In the Best Alternative Music Album category, Bon Iver’s up against the likes of Iggy Pop, Radiohead, PJ Harvey, and the late David Bowie. 

The 59th Annual Grammy Awards show will be held on February 12 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and televised live on CBS.
