Iron & Wine and Calexico Tour Japan

Iron & Wine and Calexico will jump back in the saddle
to perform In the Reins on their tour of Japan, which
begins tonight in Fukuoka. Sam and Sarah Beam of Iron
& Wine will open the shows as a duo before Calexico
gradually joins them. On the Calexico website,
frontman Joey Burns writes, "As on tours before in
North America and Europe, I am sure there will be a
lot of improvising together and coming up with
interesting new original and cover songs."

Though the Beams are more tight-lipped about their
future plans, Burns hints at them: "Last year, Paul
Niehaus and myself recorded with Sam at his home
studio to contribute to the new Iron & Wine album, due
to come out later this year."

Iron & Wine and Calexico have separate dates as well,
including a sizable tour of Australia for the latter
in late February/early March.
