See a Concert Film Iron & Wine Made in the Middle of Nowhere
Iron & Wine, live, is an indelible experience. Sam Beam and his fellow musicians tend to whip their songs into drastically different shape from the album versions, losing none of the tenderness or lushness.
But now a new 30-minute concert film canonizes the just-Sam-and-an-acoustic-guitar experience, which is a whole other type of delight. Titled Dreamers & Makers Are My Favorite People, the movie—streaming for free above—is partially a documentary about the origins of Iron & Wine, and partially about the origins of the Jerry Run Theater in rural Cleveland, West Virginia. The venue was built over the course of a decade by one dedicated music-lover and his generous, handy friends. The film is a fascinating, soothing viewing experience. And those folk-singing openers, Marteka and William, are adorable.
