Iron & Wine at the Uptown Theater
We saw Iron & Wine last night at the Uptown Theater. It was such a great show! Sam Beam and his band always entertain; I love his folky grooves and chill sounds. Plus, for the backdrop, Manual Cinema were creating imagery with paper puppets, other object and even themselves, live as the music played. It was very simple but very effective and added a very cool element to the show
The opener, Jobi Riccio, was pretty great too! She has one album out so far and it’s well worth a listen:
She’s from Morrison, Colorado, near one of the greatest venues in the US, Red Rocks, she grew up with music and you can hear it in her voice and guitar. I always love finding new musicians when they open for bands I like. Plus I got a chance to chat with her at the merch booth, where she signed her LP for me!
