On August 25 Sam Beam released his latest Iron & Wine album Beast Epic via Sub Pop. The show served both as an intimate preview of the new record and as a benefit, with all proceeds form the show going to benefit causes to help people living with HIV/AIDS.
While Beam did share quite a few The 13-song set featured some selections off the new record but also featured old favorites and crowd requests that he graciously obliged. There were a few moments where Beam forgot the word and got some help from audience members who helped him fill in the blanks, giving the show a lighthearted and loose feel that was a joy to witness in the always unique setting of the Housing Works Bookstore.
