Iron and Wine – Kiss Each Other Clean

Tonight surprise Iron and Wine concert at The Greene Space officially marks the first “make your friends jealous that you live in NYC” event of the year. Tickets are sold out online, but standing room seats may be available at the door. Iron and Wine‘s new record, Kiss Each Other Clean drops on January 25 on Warner Bros.

January 5, 2011; New York, NY – WNYC and NPR Music will video webcast a surprise concert from acclaimed indie folk band Iron & Wine tonight at 8PM (ET) at www.wnyc.org/thegreenespace and www.npr.org/music. This will be Iron & Wine’s first live performance of its forthcoming album “Kiss Each Other Clean.”

The concert was just announced today during an interview with Sam Beam on WNYC’s Soundcheck, and is taking place at the station’s street-level broadcast and performance venue, The Greene Space. Extremely limited tickets are on sale now for $25 at www.wnyc.org/thegreenespace.

The intimate show, hosted by John Schaefer of WNYC’s Soundcheck, and accompanying live stream, is the first opportunity to hear the entire album before its release on January 25. “Kiss Each Other Clean” is the first studio album from Beam in more than three years – and already receiving attention for its full-band, rich sound. Beam chose to debut the new material in this manner as an expression of his appreciation for public radio.

Following the live performance, the entire concert will be archived at www.wnyc.org/thegreenespace and www.npr.org/music.
