Iron & Wine Confirm Two London Shows

• 7th Jun 2011

Sam Beam, aka Iron & Wine, has announced two special concerts in London this October. The Hackney Empire welcomes Beam on October 9th for an intimate all-acoustic show, with a full band performance the next night at Shepherds Bush Empire.

Tickets for the shows go on sale this coming Friday (June 10th), with a limited pre-sale for ATP members, members of the Iron & Wine mailing list and O2 customers beginning tomorrow (June 8th) from 10am.

Over the course of his ten-year career, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam has become one of today’s greatest story tellers, crafting meticulous tales full of forlorn love, religious imagery and wistful dreams. It’s been more than three years since his last studio effort, The Shepherd’s Dog, which was widely praised by fans and critics alike. While Beam’s early albums were sparse, intimate solo affairs, Shepherd’s introduced layered textures and poly-rhythmic sounds that allowed his lyrics to spring to life. It’s only natural then, that Beam took this sonic collage and built upon it for his new album, Kiss Each Other Clean. The result is a brighter, more focused record that retains the idiosyncratic elements that make Iron & Wine such an engaging band.
