Brandi Carlile

On her latest album, the stellar By The Way I Forgive You, Carlile returns to her sweet spot: tear-jerking Americana that shows off her crackling croon. It's her most moving, with vulnerable outsider anthems rooted in healing and hope.

Carlile is a GRAMMY-award winning singer/songwriter and producer, who has a formidable catalog of powerful Americana songs. She is also a member of the supergroup The Highwomen, and has produced records by country legend Tanya Tucker and folk duo The Secret Sisters.
