Brandi Carlile

Starting her musical career as a backup singer for an Elvis Presley impersonator, Brandie Carlile started playing guitar and writing songs at fifteen years old. It wasn’t until 2003 when Brandi’s talent was discovered by Dave Matthews when performing in the Sasquatch! Music Festival.

After the release of her first self-titled album Brandie Carlile, she performed as a supporting act and headliner for artists including The Fray, Chris Isaak, Ray Lamontagne, Indigo Girls amongst others.

Brandie continued to perform live and collaborated with many worldwide artists like Maroon 5, One Republic and Elton John.
