Evenin' All.

Iron and Wine Canadian Travel Itinerary:

  • Vancouver...October 7th
  • Calgary....October 8th
  • Edmonton...October 9th
  • Winnipeg...PLEASE
So earlier I learned Iron and Wine is playing the above Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton dates in October. Surely this is an auspicious sign for a possible Sam Beam Winnipeg stop. After all, it only makes sense to roll through Regina and/or Saskatoon after Edmonton then stop in for a date in our beloved city before heading down to say, Fargo.

So I need you all to do me a colossal favour: press your bladed hands together and
pray to The Divine Architect of Winnipeg Music to bring him to our city. Heck, I'd even settle for a Fargo date. Stay tuned.

Did anyone catch The Hold Steady do double duty last night on Letterman? Craig Finn & co. were involved in a segment with comedian Andy Kindler and later performed "Sequestered In Memphis" off their new record
Stay Positive. It was refreshing to see Letterman's writers giving some indie rockers added and much deserved exposure.

The performance was great. The segment quite funny (see below).

Oh and don't forget, they're in Fargo next week if you're up for some border-crossing and a quick jaunt south.
