Iron & Wine played The Eastern with Rosali (pics, video, setlist)

Sam Beam released his first album as Iron & Wine in seven years, Light Verse, back in April, and he’s on a North American tour supporting it now, which stopped in Atlanta on Monday (8/5) for a show at The Eastern. The setlist, which you can see below, included songs from throughout their discography, focusing on the new material but also including older favorites from 2004’s Our Endless Numbered Days, 2007’s The Shepherd’s Dog, and more. Mid-set, Sam delivered solo renditions of “Bitter Truth” and “Each Coming Night,” and the night ended with a two-song encore of “Sweet Talk” and “Call it Dreaming.” (He didn’t play his new American Football cover though.) See a couple of attendee-taken video clips below.

Rosali, who also released a great new album this year, Bite Down (one of our favorites of the year so far) opened the show, and you can see pictures from the whole night by Pasha Birman below.

Iron & Wine will be in NYC soon for a show at Brooklyn Paramount on August 14, with Sunny War.
