On June 23, indie folk rock artist Iron & Wine brought his Light Verse tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC.

Fellow American singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah kicked off the night. Alone on stage with her guitar and banjo, she charmed the crowd with a set that ended with “Black Myself”, the song that earned her a 2020 Grammy Award Best American Roots Song nomination.

Iron & Wine is the musical project of American singer-songwriter Samuel Bean since 2002. In line with his latest release Light Verse, the show saw him return to the more acoustic sound of his early albums.

Accompanied by his band, he started his set with “Walking Far From Home”, “All In Good Time”, and ” Teeth in the Grass”. Halfway through the show, he performed a few solo songs. “Flightless Bird, American Mouth”, a fan favourite after appearing in the movie Twilight, was of course part of the setlist. Bean ended his main set with “Call It Dreaming”, and came back for an encore with “Lean Into The Light”.

Thoughout the show, visuals designed and created in real time by Manual Cinema were projected behind the band. It was quite an impressive feat, that added to the intimate atmosphere of the lighting set-up.

Iron & Wine will spend the summer playing cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Brooklyn, and Toronto. Find all tour dates on his website.
