Born and raised in South Carolina, Beam was teaching film when his home-recorded debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle, was released on Sub Pop records in 2002. Garnering both critical and popular acclaim, Beam was vaulted into the spotlight of the burgeoning indie-folk and Americana scenes. Now entering its 20th year, Iron & Wine have released seven full-length recordings, numerous EPs / singles, and collaborations with Calexico, Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), and Jesca Hoop all on their way to becoming a four-time GRAMMY nominee. Iron & Wine’s music has captured the emotion and imagination of listeners with their distinctly cinematic songs; in particular, they’ve become synonymous with the movies Twilight and Garden State and continue to find a home in your favorite film, TV show, or streaming playlist. As the world continues to spin — so do Iron & Wine continue on their path of releasing new music and touring.
