Thursday: Local Singer to Sing with Arizona Senator on National Television
So there’s this band that’s supposed be singing on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight (12/11), and the singer’s apparently from Eau Claire. Not sure on the name. Maybe you’ve heard of the band: “Bon Iver?” The name is Italian or something. Before the band, this senator from Arizona named John McCain (whose name sounds really, really familiar) is going to be interviewed.
Oh, breaking news! Not only is Bon Iver’s singer from Eau Claire, but some other band members are also from the Chippewa Valley: Mike Noyce and Sean Carey. So that’s cool. You should check it out. Unless this "Senator McCain" character runs really long or Letterman tries to shove in even more whacky Conan-esque rip-off sketches, Bon Iver should be the musical guest.
