Brandi Carlile

Nominated for: BEST Local Bands

On her new album, The Story, Brandi Carlile opens up her heart, soul, and psyche in a series of memorable songs that invite you into her world. To her growing community of fans, it's Carlile's revelatory imagery, stark emotive vocals and finely-detailed songs which provide the keys to who she is, where she's been, and where's she's going.

Shortly after the release of her critically-acclaimed self-titled Red Ink debut (Rolling Stone named her one of the magazine's "10 Artists To Watch in 2005") -- Carlile left her home in Seattle and set out with twin brothers Tim (guitar) and Phil (bass) Hanseroth, with whom she'd worked on her earliest recordings and independent regional tours. The tightly knit trio, which forms the core of her band today, spent the better part of two years on the road. By the end of 2006, Brandi Carlile had embarked on several headlining tours and supported a variety of artists including Ray LaMontagne, The Fray, Chris Isaak, Tori Amos, and Shawn Colvin.

I saw Brandi when she was just starting out years ago at the Tractor and then saw her recently again and she is still great.
