This mountain man with a beard of epic proportions is Sam Beam, creator and primary musician in Iron & Wine. Besides the awesome beard, I also love his music. If you aren't familiar, I guess it could be described as "folk" or sometimes "folk rock". His music is pretty chill and relaxing, so if you're looking to dance the night away (which I also love to do) maybe don't grab an Iron & Wine album. BUT if you're looking for amazing guitar, vocals, piano and a smattering of other awesome instruments, this is your band! He also has some pretty awesome/confusing/fascinating lyrics. It was tough to decide who was my very favorite band or artist because it changes all the time, but I decided on Iron & Wine because no matter how many times I change what type of music I'm listening to, I'm always in the mood for a little I&W. It never gets old for me, no matter how many times I listen to it.
In case you aren't familiar with Iron & Wine yet (and you should be) here's a link to listen to one of my favorite songs he does, maybe because it has a girl named Jennie in the song :-) it's called Kingdom of the Animals: Iron & Wine - Kingdom of the Animals
