Iron and Wine -- FREE INSTORE

Iron and Wine Free In-store Performance
Sunday, May 10th - 4:00pm
* SORRY, SOLD OUT *

If we were trying to get you all fired up, we shouldn't have to tell you too much more than that Sam Beam is coming back for another of his legendary in-stores. I'm pretty sure Sam's first ever in-store was here, back in the days before Buffalo Exchange. He's certainly filled the room with his glorious, story-based, acoustic confections twice, and both times rank among the best appearances we've ever had.

May 19th will see the release of Around the Well, a two CD or 3 LP set, comprised of a career-spanning collection of demos and lo-fi home recordings on one disc, and more fully produced studio recordings, including tracks with friends and other musicians on the other disc. That sounds like two great reasons to look forward, and if you count the in-store, well, that's the holy trinity of good news.

Sam is heading out for a tour of very intimate venues for an evening of songs by request. I have no idea what the set up will be at the shop, beyond it being a solo acoustic set-up and there being a chance of you getting in, you see the word is all of the local shows on this current tour have sold out. Unfortunately, this event is already sold out.
