Vernon and company kicked off their performance in support of the Harris/Walz ticket with “Towers” off Bon Iver’s 2011 self-titled album. The trio then turned to 2016’s 22, a Million with “666 ʇ.”

Next, Bon Iver took it back to 2007 debut album For Emma, Forever Ago with “Flume.” The performance wrapped with a rendition of “Battle Cry For Freedom” (also known as “Rally ‘Round the Flag”) written by American composer George Root in 1862.
