Iron & Wine is one single person, his name is Sam Beam. Beam started out his career by recording himself on cassettes, and finally found his way into the studio. He plays peaceful, mellow acoustic tunes which involve nothing except the acoustic guitar, and the occasional banjo. Beam has released two albums, and is one of the major factors in the folk scene today. He has also played with Calexico, and they released an ep which got a little critical acclaim for its excellence.
