midwives alliance of north america

Sam Beam of Iron & Wine will present the second annual benefit concert for the Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) Thursday, July 29, at the Paramount Theatre.

A supporting act will be announced soon; last year it was Martin Hansard of the Swell Season.

Guest Contributer: Joanna Lea

Monday, July 27
Iron and Wine (led by Austinite, Sam Beam, pictured) plays a sold-out show at The Paramount Theatre downtown with Glen Hansard (The Frames, Swell Season).

The two songwriters will no doubt give a hauntingly unique folk performance, and all the show will benefit the Midwives Alliance of North America.

Their newest album, Around The Well, is one of my year’s favorites. The show will start promptly at 8pm.
