Iron & Wine performs in The Current studios

St. Paul, Minn. — Sam Beam is Iron & Wine. That's the moniker for the singer/songwriter behind the delicate guitar picking and soft-spoken voice that has covered The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" and has been featured on a psychedelic M&Ms commerical. Iron & Wine has also released three full-length albums and a whole slew of EPs.

While not on tour all that often - he hasn't played a show in the Twin Cities since 2005, Sam Beam has been all over the country growing up in South Carolina, writing his music while in Florida, and living now in Austin, Texas.

Songs performed: "Peace Beneath The City," "Naked As We Came," and "He Lays In The Rain."
