INDIE FOLK ICON IRON & WINE RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND FEBRUARY & MARCH
WITH LEAH SENIOR & TERESA DIXON^

Handsome Tours are thrilled to present US indie folk icon Iron & Wine who returns to Australia and New Zealand this February and March, with special guests Australian folk diviner Leah Senior (excluding Hobart) and Tasmanian-based alt-country singer songwriter Teresa Dixon (Hobart only).

Iron & Wine, the moniker of singer/songwriter and film studies lecturer Sam Beam, performs this time as soloist in a captivating run of shows in capital cities and festival appearances, drawing from his transcendent and illuminating folk sounds.

Known for his deeply burnished vocals, keen melodic sensibility, and introspective, free-flowing lyrical point of view, Iron & Wine is one of the preeminent artists and collaborators of the first wave of indie folk.

Following his most recent EP release of covers, Making Good Time – a collaboration with Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), and his 2024 full length album Light Verse, Iron & Wine come to Australia off the back of a huge US tour with award-winning trio I’m With Her and Seattle favourites Band of Horses.

For more than a decade, Iron & Wine has crafted a body of work spanning seven studio albums, numerous EPs and singles, each marked by atmospheric arrangements, poetic storytelling, and Sam Beam’s singular voice. From modest beginnings with The Creek Drank the Cradle, through the rustic beauty of The Shepherd’s Dog, the bold explorations of Kiss Each Other Clean and Ghost on Ghost, to the reflective resonance of Beast Epic and the orchestral sweep of Light Verse, Iron & Wine has earned acclaim for its capacity to move between the hushed and the grand with elegance and emotional clarity.

Iron & Wine will perform solo, playing stripped back music from his expansive catalogue including songs from latest album Light Verse, fan favourites from his collaborations with Calexico and I’m With Her, and the cinematic gems such as the slow dance soundtrack from Twilight.

Experience Iron & Wine with Leah Senior (all shows excl. Tasmania) and Teresa Dixon (Hobart only) this February and March in intimate live performances filled with joyful folk and feel-good moments.
