Iron and Wine is currently touring Europe, where the new album is out on 4AD, and brings this leg of the tour to a close with performances in Brussels and Berlin this week. The Guardian gave four stars to the first of two recent performances at London's Barbican Hall. “Beam writes with an artist’s eye, his songs alive with place and time,” writes the Guardian’s Betty Clarke. His “easy charm dazzles.”
Next month, Iron and Wine will headline a benefit concert for Midwives Alliance of North America at the Paramount Theatre in Austin. The band hits the road again to tour the US Midwest and Canada this September. For details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
