Iron and Wine June 12, 2008

One of the most interesting buzzes on the touring scene is Iron and Wine. When soft became the new loud in indie circles a few years ago, Iron and Wine quickly stepped ahead of the pack as the most arresting of the whispery new-folk artists. Led by the gentle-voiced Sam Beam, the group makes morose and mysterious music, with impressively layered harmonies and the barest instrumentation.

The newer songs of Iron and Wine are still steeped in southern lore with brooding tales of love, violence, infidelity and religion. But their recent sound largely abandons Iron and Wine's more traditional acoustic folk sound for a surprising mix of worldly beats, blues and psychedelic rock.

If you have not experienced live music in the Capitol Theatre, this concert will be a great place to start. The incredible acoustics emphasize the delicate and the subtle. You don't have to travel to Chicago to hear world-class performances in a world-class venue.
