MusicNOW is a collaboration-focused music festival held each year in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded by the National’s Bryce Dessner. MusicNOW – 10 Years is a collection of recordings of performances from the festival, compiled to celebrate the festival’s tenth anniversary. It features Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Grizzly Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Dirty Projectors, Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Andrew Bird, Owen Pallett, and more.
