Iron and Wine 11/10/17 College Street Music Hall

Iron and Wine is a folk pop group fronted by the enigmatic Sam Beam. The group on this evening consisted of Beam on guitar and vocals, cello, female keys and backing vocals, fantastic female drummer and backing vocals, and bass (electric and upright). The early catalog: The Creek Drank the Cradle, Our Endless Numbered Days, The Woman King (ep w/ Calexico)' ,The Shepherds Dog (my personal favorite), all were represented well on this outing. Beam has grown into his popularity evidenced by his confident stage delivery. The songs : Upward Over the Mountain, Boy With a Coin, House By The Sea, Woman King among many others were played not as direct readings but interpretations of these recorded favorites. Impressions of fan favorites are a delight and Beam connected on many counts. The sold out crowd hung on every literate line from this fantastic artist.
