Brandi Carlile needs to be heard. Following her sold-out, London debut at The Borderline in November, the critically acclaimed singer/songwriter is special guest to Newton Faulkner on his forthcoming UK tour.
A self-taught guitarist who combines blues & soul with a nod to Bonnie Raitt, the 26 year-old stateside hit plays 5 nationwide shows, including Camden's Roundhouse, March 5th, 2008.
Having toured America as special guest to Ray LaMontagne, The Fray, Chris Isaak and Tori Amos, Brandi is a talented artist in her own right.
Produced by legendary Grammy Award winner - T Bone Burnett (Counting Crows, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss), Brandi's forthcoming LP, released in the UK April 21st on Sony BMG, is already making waves in the US and looks set to be one of the ultimate discoveries of 2008.
A sonic soundscape of honest vocals, organic sounds and arresting delivery, it's a back-to-basics album that majestically blends raw music with real talent. Highlights include the forthcoming single "Turpentine" set for release on April 14th - which featured in the smash-hit US show 'Grey's Anatomy' - plus "Cannonball", which was recorded in Atlanta with The Indigo Girls.
