I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: May 11, 2026] Iron and Wine / Improvement Movement

I have liked Iron and Wine for a while.  never quite enough to see him live, but I’ve thought about it a few times.  Then he did a (solo) Free at Noon in February and I went.  I enjoyed it a lot–his songs are wonderful and he is a great performer.

I was quite interested in going to this show, which was a full band show.  I dithered about it quite a bit and when it finally came around, I had two other shows that week so I gave this one a miss.  I’m sure he’ll be back though and I’ll try to make a point of seeing him.

Improvement Movement is an “acoustic grunge band” and “the social betterment campaign/prog-rock quartet/non-denominational cult from Atlanta, GA,”

Their first album is weird and cool–progressive and psychedelic.  Their second album is acoustic and very soft rock.  They’re probably fun live, but I’m not as interested in the music as I want to be.
