Florida’s Best
Since releasing his home-recorded debut, The Creek Drank The Cradle, on Sub Pop in 2002, Iron & Wine (a.k.a. Florida singer/songwriter Sam Beam) has quickly built the sort of fervent following other indie acts take a decade to achieve.
He released his second album, Our Endless Numbered Days, in April, and is supporting it on the road with a month-long tour this summer. He’ll begin June 12 in Gainesville, Fla., and work his way up the East Coast to Canada before angling his way back down. The tour wraps July 7 at The Orpheum in Tampa, Fla.
Monitor Records/4AD hot item Cass McCombs will open from June 21-27. Ex-Scissor Girls leader Azita – who is supporting her new album, Life On The Fly – will join up after her stint with The Shins for three shows July 1-3.
