Brandi Carlile

Biography

Around the time she began getting serious about making music, Brandi Carlile would travel to Seattle’s Benaroya Hall for concerts, including solo performances by Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. “I watched them,” she recalls, “and I wondered what it would be like to stand on that beautiful stage.” Now she knows. The release of Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony marks the realization of two dreams for the acclaimed singer/songwriter: “We got to work with a world class symphony and record in this legendary venue in our hometown. The hall has such great acoustics, you can hear someone zip up their coat.”
