Yeesh, is there anyone who’s made a bigger splash in pop culture lately than the stunning Grammy Award-winning singer Brandi Carlile? In a matter of months, it seems, she went from busker at Seattle’s famed Pike Place Market to Marquee A+ list star. And we couldn’t be happier for her.
Carlile is an exquisite songwriter and memorable singer. Her voice is unparalleled (as you will see in the links below). In 2021, the talented artist released a new best-selling memoir, Broken Horses, and a new LP, In These Silent Days. She was nominated for more Grammy recognition and found her way into many more hearts.
