Honestly, before I settled on a name for the Bon Iver project in general, Chigliak was in the running for what I was going to name the band.

DeYarmond Edison's core consisted of Vernon Brad and Phil Cook and Joe Westerlund. "


Personal life
In 2011 Vernon began a relationship with Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards. The band released two records themselves the first self-titled and the second titled Silent Signs and an EP of unreleased material is available on their Myspace page.
