Last night I saw Iron & Wine with the girlfriend and friends at the House of Blues in Boston. Although I did not have the most visually appealing seats -- balcony in the center -- the sound was flawless. I still got glimpses of Sam Beam's grizzly beard as he belted in front of a sold out crowd. He played an interesting set filled with long tracks, horns and keyboard solos. It was a mix of old and new music, the latter including selections from Kiss Each Other Clean. The set varied in tempo so it's difficult to follow a strict rhythm. It's a blessing or a curse depending on the concert-goer, but it was musically satisfying for a Tuesday evening in rainy Boston. I do not have photos to add yet, but will get them uploaded soon. I apologize in advance if the forthcoming quality is subpar.
Prior to the show we ate tapas at 94 Mass Ave. It was sinfully delicious and perfect for a party of four. Arancini, balsamic glazed gnocchi, salty meatballs and mediterranean calamari all washed down by white sangria was the perfect opening act for the evening.
Happy Hump day!
