But, I also heard from other media persons at the Edmonton Folk Fest that at Iron and Wine's last performance, he did not let the media in the area in front of the stage to take pictures for the first 3 songs, like he and all the other artists are doing here. Samuel Beam's excuse for this was that the clicking of the cameras bothered him, but I hardly believe he could even hear the cameras from the stage. Also, Iron and Wine did not do interviews with any media people. So, Iron and Wine did meet my expectations for the performing aspect of the night, but not other aspects.
Still, he performed a great show and I'm sure that the whole crowd was pleased with his performance. His voice is absolutely amazing, it can be soft and soothing, yet strong and powerful at the same time. He was all alone on the stage, just him and his guitar, yet his music was so powerful it could be heard all around.
That's my last post for tonight. But please tune in tomorrow for updates and reviews of Sunday workshops, highlights of an interview with Joel Plaskett, and reviews of main stage performances. Tomorrow the main stage performance that I am particularly excited to see is the Idan Raichel Project.
To for those of you who weren't able to make it to the Edmonton Folk Music Festival this year, tune in tomorrow for updates. And for everyone, good night!
