The Power of Carlile

Just like her hero Patsy Cline, Brandi Carlile has a voice that seems barely constrained by any equipment attempting to record. But while she is certainly capable of belting out tracks like nobody's business, Brandi is just as assured with moments of quiet tenderness. It's a versatility that has seen her become one of alternative country's most respected stars. Not to mention she has been performing since she was eight, so it's fair to say that she treats the stage as something of a second home. When you get the chance to see Brandi Carlile live on stage, it's a moment that will stay with you long after the encore.
