Iron & Wine and I’m With Her Share “Robin’s Egg”

Iron & Wine returns with a vibrant new single, “Robin’s Egg” which features the three-part harmonies of I’m With Her. I’m With Her is comprised of Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan, and Sara Watkins – each individual stars in their own right – whom just released a brand new record, Wild and Clear and Blue, last month to critical acclaim and praise. The two bands will be joining forces this July for a series of shows and “Robin’s Egg” serves as a highlight to what should be an anything-goes, cross-collaborating evening of music.

The forthcoming tour takes its name from said track and is the perfect pollination of each band’s signature style. Not too sweet, not too spicy, perfect for summer days. The track was written and produced by Iron & Wine’s creative force and principal singer-songwriter, Sam Beam, and is an early preview of the band’s still-in-the-making forthcoming record.

Of the song, Beam said: “I had the start of ‘Robin’s Egg’ kicking around and began finishing the tune earlier this year with I’m With Her in mind. We had already started to plan our summer tour together; I passed it to them with the hope they were up for adding their voices to it and lucky for me they were! I’m looking forward to performing it, and a few other surprises, with them this summer.”

Iron & Wine will continue to tour through the end of the year with a series of festival plays and a co-headline west coast run with former labelmates and longtime friends, Band of Horses. See below for a complete list of dates.
