Iron & Wine will bring their Light Verse Tour 2025 to Jackson live at The Center Theater on October 20th, 2025, at 8:00 PM. Light Verse was birthed April 26th; it’s Iron & Wine’s seventh full-length overall and fifth for Sub Pop Records. Track by track, it’s equal parts elegy, kaleidoscope, truth, and dare.Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam lyrically takes focus on a series of both fictional and personal insights, filled with desperate characters and wide-eyed optimists, offering promise and a dose of heartache, tears and laughter, life and love. Taking stock in the album’s title, he jokes, “Light verse is a form of poetry about playful themes that often uses nonsense and wordplay, and it’s my first official Iron & Wine comedy
album!…. Just kidding….”
While this may be true, Iron & Wine’s most playful record, Beam says the title mostly reflects the way the songs were born with joy after the heaviness and anxiety of the pandemic. Where recent records like Beast Epic or W**d Garden gave air to the disquiet of middle-aged frailty and brokenness, these songs trade that for the focus acceptance can bring. Moment by moment, they delight in being pointed or silly (or both) and attempt beauty over prettiness.
