Sam Beam lives in Miami, FL and makes music under the name Iron & Wine. He is a father of two (both daughters) and teaches cinematography at a local college. September 2002 saw the release of his debut album, The Creek Drank the Cradle. That record was/is hushed, literate, intimate, melodic: a quiet treasure which, with its unaffected candor and depth, found fans all over. Both in the bio for the first record and in (perhaps an unwitting, self-fulfilling prophecy set in motion by that bio) subsequent press surrounding the record, a fair amount of focus has been narrowed on these two facts: Sam Beam lives in Miami and most of his music is home-recorded. This lends some interesting context, but really, these things are solely that: context. The simple explanation is that Sam likes the warm weather and home is where the four-track is (it also happens to be where his family is).

In September of 2003, Sub Pop released a 5-song EP culled from the recordings that made up The Creek Drank the Cradle as The Sea and The Rhythm. And, some discerned a new undercurrent of optimism within these. Between now and the first record, Sam spent a far amount of time on the road, both solo and with a band.

Review about Iron & Wine

It's like love | Reviewer: Judson | 7/15/2008

Sam Beam is simply brilliant. He is one of very few musicians that I feel truly understand what they do. I am a singer/songwriter and poet, and no one influences my music more than Sam Beam. When I listen Iron & Wine, I do nothing but fall in love. He truly understands what it means to capture emotions. Iron & wine is something that I will share with my children and theirs as well.

Inspiring, influential... all of the above | Reviewer: Judson | 7/15/2008

Every song hits a note with me personally! | Reviewer: sarabelum2112@yahoo.com | 3/24/2008

For the longest time I was hooked on "The Creek..." only because that's the only one I had. My cousin from Houston recently hooked me up with all the ones that have followed and I am awestruck, bewildered, and ecstatic!!!! I am truly impressed with "Endless #ed Days". I'm especially impressed with their "live itunes" as well.

Poetry at it's best | Reviewer: Jim Condo | 2/14/2008

The music alone is enough to pull you in and keep you there but the lyrics are truly outstanding and understated. A simple phrase can convey a complete picture or emotion so deep that it staggers me. I have read and written poems for many years but have rarely been as touched or appreciative of the craft as I am by Sam's writing. He is an extraordinary poet whose words deserve to be carefully listened to.

WOW! | Reviewer: Desiree | 12/12/2007

I love all kinds of music, but his soft lulling lyrics transform my mood immediately to a calm meditative state. This artist has a great deal of talent and I will continue to listen to his works.

Impressive | Reviewer: Fred O. | 4/23/2007

speechless. I simply love all his songs. my personal favorites, Upward over the mountain, Fever Dream, Jezebel. A truly unique songwriter.

Love it, love it, love it! | Reviewer: Phalicia M. | 10/20/2006

I fell completely HEAD OVER HEELS for Iron and Wine. It's all I listen to, and it annoys my boyfriend because I kinda ran it into the ground for him. The music is so beautiful, the guitar is perfect, melodic, and so pure. My favorite song? Don't have one, love them ALL, but definately recommend to beginners: Gray Stables, Jezabel, Evening on the Ground, Passing Afternoon, and Cinder and Smoke. Those are a few of my personal favorites. The more widespread his music becomes, the more likely he'll be to have a concert around here!

Love it, love it, love it! | Reviewer: Melikecoldplay07@aol.com | 10/20/2006

I absolutely fell head over heels for Sam Beam's music. It's the only music of its kind, too. Beautiful, perfect guitar parts (he makes it sound so easy, too) and smooth, intimate, emotional lyrics create a totally new sound, one so melodic and pure that you don't know whether to dance or cry or sleep. Many songs (especially Jezebel, Gray Stables, Passing Afternoon, Cinder and Smoke, et al) make me want to sit on a porch and watch the rain fall in the yard. His music is sometimes peaceful, sometimes almost sexy, but always full of passion. Definately great listening for serious musicians and devout music lovers.

Pulling at heartstrings | Reviewer: helenoftroy | 7/20/2006

Sam Beam produces a smokey, seductive and highly melodic blend of smooth vocals and talented guitar work. Each song carries a different message and feeling. You can listen to Iron and Wine over and over again and keep waiting for more.

awesome feeling | Reviewer: dave | 4/18/2006

you don't know if the music makes you happy or sad
what a great mixture of melody and vivid story telling
