Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon said “we’re here for the right reasons” before the US folk band played a rendition of Battle Cry of Freedom during a rally for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Wisconsin.

The group performed their hit tracks Towers, 666 ʇ and Flume to the packed crowd before ending with the patriotic song, written by George Frederick Root in support of unionism and abolitionism during the US civil war.
