# more Iron & Wine please…. - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/more-iron-wine-please/ - Published: 2013-05-24T10:29:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout I’m so enamored with the band [Iron and Wine](http://www.ironandwine.com/) that I flew to [Toronto](http://www.mywalkabout.net/2011/10/up-down-endless-streets-in-gta.html) to see them live in 2011. So when I heard they were doing a few shows on the East coast of the US before taking off across the pond for their European tour this year, I looked up the cities to see what I could muster…. Portland Maine was their second to last US tour stop, a place I’ve always wanted to visit, and they were playing on a Saturday night. The stars aligned, and off I went. [[ I found a schmacy little seafood place, and gorged on succulent sea scallops, lobster bisque and red wine before the show. [[ The band was playing at the eclectic State Theatre in Portland’s historic waterfront district. A beautiful building on a perfect spring evening. Let the music begin….. [[ The opening act was a band from Alabama, [Secret Sisters](http://www.secretsistersband.com/). They truly were sisters, genetically and in spirit. Harmonies and melodies that were as smooth as melted butter on warm toast. One listen and you won’t forget them. [[ Iron and Wine were amazing, as always. His new album has more big band instruments, but the lyrics are spot on, his presence on stage entertaining, and a rare treat this time around was for them to playing audience requests throughout the entire performance! I’ve never seen any band do that. [[ A special evening indeed.   ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/more-iron-wine-please/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20more%20Iron%20%26%20Wine%20please....&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fmore-iron-wine-please%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/more-iron-wine-please/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/more-iron-wine-please/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/more-iron-wine-please/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/more-iron-wine-please/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
