Watch Iron And Wine Play Conan
When Sam Beam visited Conan as the show’s musical guest last night, he brought plenty of help with him. In this case, Beam’s Iron And Wine project was a total mob: A string quartet, a trio of background singers, and another trio of horn players, as well as the standard guitar/bass/drums/keyboard configuration. On the show proper, the band played an expansive rendition of “Low Light Buddy Of Mine,” a song from Iron And Wine’s new album Ghost On Ghost. And if that wasn’t enough, they also played a medley of “Caught In The Briars” and “Sunday (Back In The Briars),” two more album tracks, as an online exclusive. Watch both performances below.
Ghost On Ghost is out now on Nonesuch.
