Brandi Carlile
"She silences the chatter and leaves the room spellbound in awe of her great asset - that voice" - The Independent

There is an undeniable buzz on Washington born singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile. In her native America, she has already made a name for herself, and was tipped by Rolling Stone as one of the 'top ten artists to watch'. Discovered by Rick Rubin, and produced by T Bone Burnett; she certainly has the dream team behind her - but yet her sound is so fresh and natural, and clearly personal. Her American success ignited a buzz here which led her to sell out the Borderline on her first visit here in November.

Combining blues and soul with a nod to Bonnie Raitt, Carlile's music can be described as a sonic soundscape of honest vocals, organic sounds and arresting delivery, she blends raw music with real talent. Highlights include the single 'Turpentine' - which featured in the smash-hit US show 'Grey's Anatomy' and was released on April 14th. Her album 'The Story' followed on April 21st..
