After a year long friendship the news that THE NATIONAL and BON IVER will team up for a collaborative live project shouldn’t come as a surprise, right? Bryce Dessner enlisted Justin Vernon for a show called Invisible Bridge which will take place on September 25 at Paris’ Philharmonie. Aside from these two Dessner’s prother Aaron will accompany them, as well as the French piano duo Katia and Marielle Labèqu. The Chicago-based Blackbird Quartet which also worked with the Dessners on their epic GRATEFUL DEAD tribute project will also join the project. Not much is none yet aside from the following statement
Passing nimbly between rock and contemporary music, Bryce Dessner cultivates the art of collaboration with shared compositions and performances. For this concert, he brings together guests from a variety of backgrounds: his brother and close collaborator Aaron Dessner (The National), singer Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and the Labèque sisters.
