Sam Beam, better known by his stage name of Iron & Wine, is a man of many talents; a multi-instrumentalist, exceptional songwriter and a talented film maker as well, being responsible for the making of all of his music videos. His third studio effort, The Shepherd’s Dog, is a marvelous indie folk arrangement, that provides a more extended palette, compared with his other previous two records, with better percussion and fleshed-out arrangements.
His also a renowned excellent live performer, those of you who are accustomed with his shows know what I mean; recently Sam and his touring band (a eight piece band so far) announced their 2008 European gig dates, in addition to the Nov/December US shows. Dates after the jump.
