Listen: Iron & Wine Has The Mountain Stage Song Of The Week
This week we look back to our 33rd anniversary show, recorded in 2016, with our Song of the Week by Iron & Wine.
With an ear for cinematic folk music, critically-acclaimed singer Sam Beam, who performs and records as Iron & Wine, does “We Two Are A Moon” as our Song of the Week. The tune was originally released on Love Letter for Fire, a 2016 collaborative album by Iron & Wine and singer Jesca Hoop. The pair had toured earlier that year in support of the release, which was produced, recorded, and mixed by Tucker Martine.
This week’s broadcast also features performances from Tift Merritt, Todd Burge, Paper Bird, and Andy Shauf. Listen on one of our public radio affiliates starting Friday, December 18.
Catch Iron & Wine’s performance of this song, and others from this episode, on Mountain Stage’s channel at NPR Music’s Live Sessions.
Tift’s “Heartache Is An Uphill Climb” is posted below.

Mountain Stage with Larry Groce has one more show up its sleeve before saying “goodbye” to the year 2016: a special show commemorating Mountain Stage’s 33 years of live performance radio.
Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 day of show, available today beginning at 10am on MountainStage.org, by phone at 877-987-6487, locally at Taylor Books in downtown Charleston and also at the upcoming live shows.
On Sunday, December 4, Mountain Stage will record episode #885 at the Culture Center Theater on the State Capitol Grounds, 1900 Kanawaha Blvd., Charleston. The show (which acts as Mountain Stage’s 33rd birthday celebration and will be heard on over 180 NPR Stations nationwide in early 2017) will include indie folk giant Iron & Wine, the one-man folk operation conducted by Sam Beam. This will mark the singer-songwriter’s first appearance on the Mountain Stage, following his recent collaborative releases with Band of Horses’ Ben Bridwell and California-born, Manchester-dwelling singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop, as well as his short film Dreamers and Makers are My Favorite People about the Jerry Run Summer Theater in Cleveland, West Virginia.
Also appearing on the December 4 show is up-and-coming Canadian multi-instrumentalist Andy Shauf, whose intricate songwriting and indie folk leanings have led to comparisons to Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, and Grizzly Bear. Appropriately enough, Shauf will make his Mountain Stage debut on our 33rd birthday show with a new record titled The Party in tow.

West Virginia mainstay Todd Burge will also perform on this December 4 show. Often named one of West Virginia’s premier singer-songwriters, Burge has performed on Mountain Stage over ten times since the show began in 1983, leading to his new release of some of his favorite performances on Live on Mountain Stage: 2006-2015.
More acts for this December 4 show will be announced in the coming weeks, but we recommend grabbing those tickets now for this sure-to-sell-out show!

Iron & Wine on Folk Music, West Virginia and Beards
Singer-songwriter Sam Beam has been releasing indie folk records under the name Iron & Wine for over a decade. With his newest release, Archive Series Volume No. 1, Beam’s going back to basics with bedroom folk melodies and down-home whispers. We talk about his music, his new short film, “Dreamers and Makers are My Favorite People” (which features footage from his 2014 stop at the Jerry Run Summer Theater in West Virginia) and, of course, his infamous beard.
Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) released Archive Series Volume No. 1 this past week. For more artist chats (and even some ticket giveaways), make sure to follow ‘A Change of Tune’ on Facebook, Twitter and Insta. Hear more tunes from Beam on ‘A Change of Tune,’ airing Saturdays at 10pm EST on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
