Ho scoperto ieri questa artista e mi piace molto. Condivido con voi questa scoperta.
Tra l'altro ha aperto qualche concerto a Dave Matthews.

A gifted singer/songwriter whose rich voice and literate storytelling belie her youth, Brandi Carlile was born in the small town of Ravensdale, WA, an isolated community 50 miles away from Seattle. With few neighbors or friends nearby, Carlile grew up learning to make her own entertainment, camping and hiking in the nearby woods and teaching herself to sing. Carlile grew up listening to the classic country music. At 17, Carlile picked up the guitar, having developed a taste for rock & roll through Elton John's classic albums of the 1970s, and she began hitting the Seattle bar scene. While playing clubs, she encountered a band called the Fighting Machinists, featuring twin brothers Tim Hanseroth on guitar and Phil Hanseroth. Impressed by their instrumental skills and spot-on harmonies, Carlile became an instant fan of the Fighting Machinists, and when the group broke up, she persuaded the Hanseroth twins to form a group with her. While they started out as an aggressive rock & roll band, Carlile's emotionally powerful songwriting and acoustic guitar work soon became the dominant component of the group's sound, and they began touring regularly, headlining small venues and opening shows for Dave Matthews, Shawn Colvin, and India.Arie. In 2000, Carlile recorded the first of several self-released recordings that sold briskly at shows, and in 2005 Carlile was signed to Columbia Records, releasing a self-titled album later that same year. The album earned enthusiastic reviews, and Carlile was named one of 2005's "Artists to Watch" by Rolling Stone. Her second Columbia album is titled The Story, released in spring 2007.

a mia sorella piace un casino.
sul 'tubo', mi diceva, è pieno di sue cover di canzoni famose, tra le quali mi sponsorizzava quella di 'halleluja'.
in 'giro' ho trovato poco però.
