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.

The show was fantastic!! The venue was great. Not a bad seat in the house. The audience was treated to some new material from the new album, yet to be released. We really enjoyed it.
best show I have ever seen at any house of blues venue. Chairs made evening intimate and unforgettable
This was the best concert I have seen. Better than James Taylor, Elton John or the Police. She was awesome. We will be going back to see her again.
Honestly, Gregory Alan Isakov could have been better. The sound quality was off and I was slightly worried about how Brandi would sound. It was perfect. The acoustic tour really showcased her voice, which was amazing. It was a great concert.
The show was fantastic. Brandi and her guys put on a flawless show. She even had the whole band play in front of the speakers totally unplugged. The songs were great, the crowd loved it, and the sound was HOB finest. Thanks!
I love Brandi, so I was expecting a good show. I saw her last year with A Fine Frenzy. Having enjoyed that show so much, I was excited about the acoustic evening. I didn't realize it would be such an intimate performance. One of my favorite things about Brandi Carlile (besides her singing/songwriting, of course) is that she seems like someone who I could have a beer with and the acoustic show just encouraged that fantasy. Brandi and the rest of the band was so phenomenal. My girlfriend--only somewhat familiar with Brandi--couldn't stop talking about the show!
This was the fourth Brandi Carlile concert that I've been to. She is an amazing artist who truly just keeps blowing my mind. When I think there is no way she could top a certain song she writes another that exceeds it! She sounds even more amazing in concert than on her albums. She's funny and has a unique way of connecting with the audience. Love her!!!
