With Improvement Movement

Iron and Wine, aka Sam Beam, has been hard at work making folk rock for over a decade now, with his work compared to the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Neil Young, and John Fahey. Prior to that, he was a film studies professor working at Miami University. His big break first came when his home-recorded track was featured as part of a free CD on the front of Yeti Magazine, courtesy of a friend passing on his tape to the publication. Catch Beam live on tour in 2026 as he brings his new album, Light Verse, to a stage near you, with Improvement Movement, the experimental psychedelic pop/rock collective from Atlanta!

Songs from his eight studio albums have featured on various TV shows and films, including House, Grey's Anatomy, and the first Twilight movie - in fact, his song 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' was hand-picked by the film's star, Kristen Stewart, for the end prom scene.
