Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine brings his soul-infused folk rock to the Sydney Opera House with full band for the first time.

'Iron and Wine have risen to become one of the great modern American bands'  - the Guardian, UK 

Celebrating a dozen years since his bedroom folk breakthrough The Creek Drank the Cradle and hisscene-stealing cover of 'Such Great Heights' (The Postal Service) in Garden State, Sam Beam will now lead a full band as Iron & Wine, taking to the Concert Hall for an expansive journey through his rustic masterpiece The Shepherd's Dog, the chart-topping Kiss Each Other Clean, and this year's r 'n' b inflected Ghost on Ghost.

Since finding his way into the hands of Band of Horses' Ben Bridwell and influential Sub Pop founder Jonathan Poneman, Sam Beam's Iron & Wine quickly shot to the heart of a more tender thread in indie-rock - paving the way for label mates Fleet Foxes and the mythical backwoods origins of Bon Iver. From haunting, stripped-back performances alongside Glen Hansard to more panoramic collaborations with the likes of the Mariachi-wielding Calexico, Beam has rewritten his nom de plume as a sonic shape shifter ever-anchored by his signature high tenor voice - handpicked and introduced to millions by Kristen Stewart as the slow-dance soundtrack to Twilight.

Drawing comparisons to the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, Nick Drake and Elliot Smith, Iron & Wine have uprooted their lo-fi origins with a band that swells on stage, from heartbreakingly spare ballads to the booming brass and wistful strings of Ghost on Ghost. Now reaching for the sweeping song-craft of Paul McCartney and the blue-eyed soul of jazz greats, Iron & Wine will guide audiences through a songbook that has always used 'America as the fire for the songs' - an Opera House debut of elegant, widescreen beauty.
