BRANDI CARLILE IN CONCERT:
Alt-country sweetheart Brandi Carlile has crowned Billboard's Top Folk Albums chart twice since her 2005 debut, and it's easy to see why as she performs her heart-rending tunes in concert. Carlile is a world-class belter, and the perfect way her voice cracks when she goes big makes visceral tunes like "The Story" and "The Eye" all the more powerful. Country and folk are squarely in her wheelhouse, but she also dabbles in styles as diverse as rock, R&B, and blues, making for a dynamic concert experience anchored by her elegant songwriting and emotive voice. Whether she's performing songs from 2015's The Firewatcher's Daughter or making jaws drop with her soaring cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Carlile never fails to impress ticket buyers with her poise, gorgeous voice, and good-natured stage presence.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Brandi Carlile was born and raised in rural Washington state, where she began performing with her mother and brother at age eight. She taught herself to play guitar, and by her teens she was penning her own songs and singing backup for an Elvis impersonator. By her twenties she was performing in Seattle's music scene with her twin brothers, and in 2004 she signed with Columbia Records. Her self-titled 2005 debut topped Billboard's Folk Albums chart, introducing fans to her powerful voice and heart-on-sleeve songwriting. She teamed up with legendary producer T Bone Burnett for her 2007 sophomore album The Story, with stellar results -- the album peaked at No. 10 on the rock charts and scored a breakthrough hit with its title track. Since then Carlile has toured extensively and released four more acclaimed albums including 2011's Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony and 2015's The Firewatcher's Daughter.
This concert was magical, the music was beautiful, the Hanseroth Twins sharing their new songs was so exciting and emotional, Sista Strings brought an amazing energy and made the music sound so full. Loved the stories between the songs that helped connect us even more to Brandi. Gorgeous all around!
As always Brandi was amazing and gave a wonderful intimate performance. It was my first time at the Anthem and the venue was awesome!
Brandi's concerts are always amazing. Love her music and stories. It was wonderful for the twins to be the opening act and Sista Strings being the surprise guests. Brandi was terrific. The Anthem was very welcoming. Hope it happens again soon.l
Brandi and her band are incredibly talented. I’ve always known this, but I took my husband who didn’t know her music well and he was awestruck. It was amazing, especially given that it was just an acoustic set. The Anthem was the perfect venue for this show. The sound mixing was impeccable, the staff was friendly and helpful, everything flowed smoothly, and really added to the overall experience. I want to see so many more artists at The Anthem! What a magical night.
I hoped Brandi hadn't "sold out"and this was my first time seeing her live. I was NOT disappointed! She gave her all for over 2 ½ hours!! And the Handsford twins were great accompaniment. Not to downplay any one's performance, but Sista Strings.... OMG, I soooo want to see them play classical!! Sorry I missed them at the LOC, but so glad to have the opportunity to hear and watch their artistry! If I have one complaint (so minor, but still) it was that I so wanted to hear Brandi play Crowded Table, but it's probably one of those earlier hits with the Highwomen. Fabulous show!!
Typically I don’t drive more than 2 hrs to any concert but to watch Brandi Carlile I don’t have a problem driving to DC which is 8 hrs from me. Have seen her couple times and it’s an amazing experience every time. Plan to attend more of her music events in the future.
Brandi and the Twins are always amazing, and while this was the first time seeing them without the band, they really brought the energy. The venue is fantastic: while it seats plenty of people it never feels crowded and the acoustics are excellent. Sista Strings was a special addition to the set, as was having Phil and Tim as the “warm up act.”
I have seen Brandi and the twins perform live many times, and they always put on a great show. I think this was their best concert yet, and the twins opened up for Brandi and played the whole show with Brandi. Keep an eye out for the upcoming album release by the Hanseroth twins which hearkens back to Simon & Garfunkel and CSNY. My first time at the Anthem and it was a great venue.
I'm not sure Brandi, Tim, and Phil could give a bad show but if they can, it wasn't at The Anthem. This venue was perfect. Tim and Phil debuting new music was a treat and Brandi, the twins, and SistaStrings kicked some ass.
This was my wife’s and son’s first time seeing Brandi live. Watching them enjoy the experience was almost as good as watching Brandi! We were also able to attend with my good friend who I actually met because she was wearing a Brandi tshirt at an HOA meeting! The night was just fabulous from opening with the Twins, Sista Strings, and Brandi in the balcony! It was everything. Brandi never disappoints, is always so full of energy, and so appreciative of her fans. Forever Bramliy.
Brandi never disappoints; between the incredible range, the absolute mastery of guitar and piano, and effusive charm, every show leaves you longing for more. One show is not enough, once you know, you are hooked!
Brandi Carlisle and friends did not disappoint. The show was awesome! We loved every minute of it.
Great venue- AMAZING ARTIST!! Overall a great experience (besides the LA traffic 🤪)
This was one of the best concerts I've ever been to with special guests like Annie Lennox and Joni Mitchell! Phenomenal.
I had never been to Hollywood Bowl and it is a fantastic venue. Surprisingly easy to access, tons of food and beverage options and an intimate outdoor concert experience. Brandi did NOT disappoint as usual. I saw Joni and Annie Lennox and the rest of the friends at the Gorge this year but the surprise factor of Joni after two great hours of music was really special. Brandi was her usual personable self and Annie was ON!
One of the most meaningful shows I’ve ever been to.
I have seen Brandi many times, but a beautiful night in California, at the Hollywood Bowl, with several friends of Brandi’s and icons Annie Lennox and Joni Mitchell and I felt like the stars were aligned. It was a great night and it could have only been better if it had been a few hours longer.
I’ve been a fan and following Brandi for 15+ years. I’ve seen her at some amazing small venues and the last couple years on much bigger stages. It’s been exciting to watch her and the Twins build in popularity. They have never waive red on who they are and are grateful, thankful and humble for everything they have achieved, everyone they have met and worked with and the notary they have. Saw Brandi in San Diego with P!nk the week before the Hollywood Bowl show both shows were so different but so damn good!! The Hollywood Bowl show with Annie Lennox, Allison Russell and of course the queen Joni Mitchell was absolutely mind blowing. A night of music with friends with Brandi and friends….therapy for the soul!! Love that Brandi, Josh and the Twins are receiving the attention and accolades they so deserve yet haven’t changed one bit of who they are!! LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️
Brandy Carlile was brilliant as always. The entire night was magical with performances by Lucius, Catherine Carlile, Annie Lennox and an encore with Joni Mitchell. It truly was an iconic experience.
The show was so special that words are hard to come by. Brandi Carlile and the band were awesome as always but with all her special guests the night was totally unbearable. I loved all her friends that joined but Annie Lennox and Joni Mitchell were definitely the highlights. The sound and lighting was perfect and the crowd was very respectful.
