Iron And Wine will follow up his show at London Spitz in August with a full tour of the UK and Ireland in October.
The Florida-based singer-songwriter, aka Sam Beam, who makes hushed alt-country and has a noteworthy beard, will arrive on our litter-strewn shores for an eight-date tour in October, following the release of third LP The Shepherd’s Dog on September 29.
In the meantime, you can download his first single off the album, the rather lovely 'Boy With A Coin', at his myspace, here.
The dates are as follows:

25 Manchester Academy 2
26 Belfast Belfast Festival
27 Dublin Temple Bar
28 Bristol St George's
