Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile's third album, Give Up The Ghost, unveils her talents in their truest form. After two albums and non-stop touring, she has let her guard down and offers her most candid recording to date.
The recording of Give Up The Ghost offered new experiences for Carlile including working with the likes of Elton John, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, multi-instrumentalist Benmont Tench, drummer Chad Smith and Amy Ray of The Indigo Girls, all of whom contribute to the album.
After debuting with her self-titled album in 2005, the Washington state-bred Carlile saw her fanbase mushroom with her sophomore disc, The Story, in 2007. Among the growing legion of Carlile fans is Elton John. Proudly, Carlile says that John - who duets with her on the song, "Caroline" - played a key role in her evolution as an artist.
With encouragement and experience under her belt, when Carlile set out to make Give Up The Ghost, she did so with ample ambition. "When we recorded The Story, we set up our instruments with one drummer, like a stage, and we treated the record like a show, and we recorded that performance. This is the first time we treated something like a record. We really dug in and created an environment specifically for each song. We didn't go halfway on anything."
$1 per ticket will be donated to The Looking Out Foundation which was created by Brandi Carlile as a way for her to financially support causes and organizations she believes in.
