Columbia, South Carolina, United States (1974 – present)
Iron & Wine is the stage and recording name of folk rock singer-songwriter Sam Beam (born July 26, 1974). He currently resides in Dripping Springs, Texas, outside Austin and has released three studio albums, several EPs and singles, as well as a few download-only releases, which include a live album (a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance). The name Iron & Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named “Beef Iron & Wine” that he found in a general store.
Beam was raised outside Columbia, South Carolina, United States where his father worked in land management and his mother was a schoolteacher. He graduated from the Florida State University Film School with an MFA degree. Until the first Iron & Wine album, Beam’s main source of income was as a professor of film and cinematography at the University of Miami and Miami International University of Art & Design. He had been writing songs for over seven years before a friend lent him a four-track recorder. His friends handed out copies of demos that he had made, and the owner of Sub Pop Records personally contacted Beam and proposed a deal.
Beam released his first album, The Creek Drank the Cradle, on the Sub Pop label in 2002; Beam wrote, performed, recorded, and produced every track on the album by himself at a studio in his home. The album features acoustic guitars, banjo, and slide guitar; its music has been compared, variously, to that of Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young, Elliott Smith, and Ralph Stanley.

LOL so the minute i seen that "Flightless bird, American mouth" was the most played i immediately thought "probably cause it's on the twilight soundtrack" it's a good song nonetheless

Eh, although Flightless Bird, American Mouth has been popularized by the dreaded Twilight... it is otherwise an amazingly beautiful song... :P
