Iron and Wine

Official Website: http://www.ironandwine.com/


Samuel Beam is an American singer-songwriter better known by his stage and recording name Iron & Wine. He has released four full-length studio albums, a handful of EPs and singles, as well as a few releases available as download-only, which include a live album (a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance).

Beam spent his early years in South Carolina before moving to Florida to attend school and now lives outside Austin.

Beam took his performing name Iron & Wine from a dietary supplement named "Beef Iron & Wine" that he found in a general store in 1998 while in film school. Beam was setting up lighting in the store for a film project and noticed the supplement on a store shelf, dropped the "Beef" and the rest is history.

Here is a video for my favorite Iron and Wine track, "Naked As We Came"...
