Her voice is like a Vox AC 30. It breaks up in just the right places.

[@violetpolkadots]

+Chad Garmany Beautifully said.

[@realisticreality7705]

Well Said!

[@sprayfe]

+Chad Garmany brilliant.

[@michaelmatheson2926]

Beautiful metaphor. And from interviews she confirms that it is intentional, to break the sonic barrier vocally and distort like the sweetest electric guitar distortion. You can hear that.

[@arielfernandezfuenzalida9202]

Brandi is just Brandi, and that's the best part of knowing her talent. If she wants to rock, she rocks. If she wants to sing about love, she simply does, and whatever she does is always awesome ❤️

[@nataq]

Ever since I first heard Brandi Carlile, I felt like I was putting on the most comfortable clothing and well worn shoes I have. The clothing with the most elasticity AND sentimental value. My little brothers sneakers that he gave me for better grip when I climb mountains, my fathers jacket that he gave me when I was cold, that has the name of the company he works for (to support our family) and his name on the back. I grew up listening to all the same influences Brandi seems to have. I come from a musical family that taught me the true value and appreciation for good music and well written songs. When I hear these songs I get goosebumps and my heart sings along.

[@theresa2613]

+Wendy Martin This is a fabulous illustration. I feel the exact same way. My friend described her voice recently as "bourbon and starlight". I put on her music when I want to emote, when I want to relax, when I want to let go of everything. Then I see her live or watch a performance on youtube and I just want to grab a drink or a cup of coffee with her and talk about our favorite TV shows and raid her closet, she's so relatable.

🙏👋👋👋

[@rocknroller1986]

I absolutely love this woman. So refreshing to see a female in the music industry that's talented, down to earth and strong!

[@KariAaraas100]

rocknroller1986 actually there are a LOT of amazing female artists out there. Maybe if you stop obsessing about the female/male kind of thinking, you could relax a Little more and just enjoy the music?❤️

[@violetpolkadots]

Is it even possible to watch this, listen to it, and not be absolutely in love with Brandi Carlile and her band? Still swooning after 9 years

[@lechedoe]

Just saying, she is one of the most talented live artists out right now. This video doesn't do her justice, if you see her live you will understand. I went to Bonnaroo and saw lots of bigger artists than her, but her voice blows them out of the water.

[@briangorman9713]

oh my god what just happened to my ears? they are amazing!!!

[@zoeneo08]

Thank you KEXP, for making those sessions available for the whole world. It is highly appreciated!

[@nonniejill]

She's beyond awesome and does her band look like they are having the time of their lives? Whoa!

[@vyversneeze]

Glad to see such an earnest and genuine songwriter, and I'm happy she has a good band that backs her up in life as well.

[@071949]

A beautiful, charming young woman, and hey, she can sing too! Brandi's wife, family, and friends are fortunate to have her in their lives. 08/13/2016

[@stephaniehurt5631]

If you like Brandi, you have to listen to her memoir, Broken Horses. It is amazing and she sings stripped down versions of certain songs that fit into her life story. Guaranteed it will make you cry!

[@Alphacentauri819]

Yes! I hardly knew who she was, but her memoir came up as a recommendation. I got it and wow!!! I’m a new fan! Now checking out oodles of videos of hers! My favorite so far are NPR’s tiny desk concert, the Grammy performance of The Joke, and the duet with Alicia keys where they sit facing each other at two grand pianos. Exquisite!

[@stripeanderson]

A little late but I've been reading her memoir and only now realised from your comment that the audiobook her covers and new renditions of the songs included at the end of each chapters. Thank you!!

[@sareinhart]

I was there in one of those "east coast" places (Hershey Theatre - Hershey, PA) when they did one of those acoustic up amplified songs. Yes. The crowd was silent. It really works. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced.

[@candygram4435]

I think this woman is amazing. I don't think she has the "best" voice I ever heard. I do think she has the most compelling voice I've ever heard. Her's is the voice I want to hear forever.

[@justizzyryder]

Candy Gram You could just go with "she's has the most compelling voice I've ever heard."

[@MariSundell]

@@justizzyryder lol

[@skiwives382]

Brandi, rad as always.

[@scottrusling1917]

the host needs to realize that he isn't the one being interviewed - let this beautiful woman tell her own story

[@pnut4058]

i cant listen to her without crying.drunk or sober.they absolutely kill me.wow.LOVE YOU BRANDI!!I live in seattle and haven't seen her yet.top of my bucket list.....jesus.

[@chrisgleason1344]

I wish there was a way to more emphatically declare LOVE for this.

[@tonyciccarone6984]

Amazing set. "The Eye" is my favorite. I love her.

[@MrLawrenceLady]

I just LOVE her! So much talent...I'm glad she's back with a new album!

[@tammiehayward7098]

YESSS that is how every morning should start!!!!!!!

[@olsuzannah]

they never cease to amaze me. seeing them for the second time in Cincinnati in a couple weeks and I cannot wait! I'll probably cry the whole time

[@HellenSilvacrs]

Thanks KEXP! it's a happier monday now =D

[@Sailor1010]

Damn. I want to see them live so bad!

[@dannykumite]

There are artists that stop you in your track and listen, and there are artists take you along on their journey. BC is the latter.

[@tyler-bryce]

5 is a magic number. She, the Hanseroth twins & this group are so great!!

[@theresa2613]

She's unbelievable...this is great!!

[@reilneal]

Hey! Brandi your such an amazing n beautiful person love "all" your music. The Eye is incredible love love it!! Bear Creek is also one my favourite albums Wow!! the twins rock.

[@rabismenow]

love the way they serve up that first tune

[@katiephalen3483]

This song has a jam all over it. Damn, I wish I turn the volume up but my head is pounding. Remind me listen with you later. Have fun baby.

[@thebrysmith3]

"Damn, Brandi" indeed!

[@littlebitobi]

God this lady and her band are super talented, why doesn't she have more exposure. These days most mainstay pop stations play the same garbage the likes of Swift, Gomez, Perry, etc..

[@dseaman77]

Fantastic!

[@noragarza8628]

Brandi is Awesome!

[@noragarza8628]

👩‍🚀

[@themightykabool]

[@Veronica4u2day]

[@jordanlightner5497]

How was it?!

[@Veronica4u2day]

Everything and more. The band and her is fantastic !!!!!!

[@jieren8829]

Jesus, she came to Oslo? I would definitely go if I knew:(

[@The-Real-Blissful-Ignorance]

Brian Griffin on the drums! Oddly enough, the first time I saw Brian play was when he opened for Brandi while playing for The Lone Bellow. He's awesome!

[@annafrye5503]

I LOVE HER

[@Nayelibluenay]

absolutely FLAWLESS

[@larsvdwerf]

This is so nice. The vibe is just zo awesome. And the presenter is also great. Man, this is what makes America great.

Brilliant. Beautiful. Your music transcends your experience if I have anything to say about it. Thank you Brandi and the band.

[@jess503]

Pure joy and energy! Thank you Brandi, Phil, and Tim for creating an awesome song to wake up to in the morning! Thanks, KEXP - until I can go to a live show, this is the next best thing!

[@Carolina.R.]

😍😍😍 Love Brandi Carlile 🎈🎈🎈🙌

[@NatS3703]

The more I watch and listen to her, the more I get Addicted! I just did a two hour run- my legs were jelly and I wanted to stop- as soon as the first song came on- I couldn't stay still listening to it ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mani-lg1xm]

[@monikgagnon]

second interview and performance in your studio, its great !!! we get to meet the artist and the motivation on each song. the interviewer has good questions and make us feel like we take part of this moment. Brandi is such a lovely artist, I had a great moment. thank you from Quebec.

[@rabismenow]

[@kerrybeaton5928]

I love any country music but never heard about brandi Carlile and that song The Story never heard anything like that love her voice amazing voice

[@mmsmarcos]

[@shazzzam79]

[@hudzolin]

Zuper cool!! thats my girl

[@tsopuaifa]

Man! That was so cool. Love it.

[@rockman2706]

Awesome 👌

[@bridgetvanzundert]

Goddamn! That's smokin' hot and then some!

[@FloatingGrin]

I'm guessing people think country because her voice tends to lean that way with its natural breaks. That isn't country. That is just awesome and real.

[@rahang4126]

+FloatingGrin Lets say it's sort of "Joplinistic country" !

[@caughtinyourquagmire]

YAS

[@KochelzShizzle]

They are SO good, but how can she even sing with chewing gum in her mouth? I'm impressed :P

[@blanchardlucile8001]

Au top comme d'habitude. Merci

[@once1upon1a1dream]

Brandi Carlile just produced The Secret Sister's new album. Check out their Pledge Campaign! www.pledgemusic.com/projects/thesecretsisters

[@bethderrick3975]

Does anyone know what happened with Brian not being a permanent drummer with them? He's been the best

[@robertbartelmes7623]

...this girl can f*ckin' rock...

[@sarahpayne7454]

[@rafinhus00]

NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE!

[@gegigelovani3119]

Nice job darling, keep going on)))

[@danonamous5157]

I'd LOVE Brandi to do a collab with Kelly Clarkson!!! I'd die....

[@Alsue29]

High OnFruit I think Kelly Clarkson did a cover of one of Brandi's songs on tour one time...google it!

[@annalieberjamin9226]

Kelly covered Turpentine.

[@dawnsmoke2586]

Would absolutely be over the moon with 5 of my absolute favourites getting together....Brandi Carlisle, Joan Osborne, Beth Hart, Bonnie Raitt, and my Fabulous Linda Perry....They,d bring the roof down ! Total goosebumps ! For myself anyhow...

[@passion_flora]

4:31

[@MikeReineck]

Best voice this side of Adele.

[@spacedoginnebraska]

She's still got the twins, I see. Excellent!! She sounds better than ever!!

[@voyarismus]

wow!!!

[@1981bevo]

i remember the olden days when people didn't watch concerts through their smartphones

[@EthanSmillie]

No idea who she is, style wise their not really for me. But they are very good, much props

[@unspeakablegaminggirl6891]

MOW YOU OK

[@huajuangou3460]

as a Chinese, pls i need subtitle,cause i just can understand a half when they talk :(

[@tsumac]

Brandi has her headphones on backwards

[@cujeu377]

Not if she's facing the twins

[@abdulgaffarmia9544]

hmm

[@nonniejill]

What is the name of this song?

[@hayleyjoelle00]

her voice at 3:28 has me WEAK

[@NoPainNoGain200]

Steve jobs movie x

[@cheeselord3089]

i didn't know kevin spacey could drum

[@bkhood9150]

Spot on, although younger looking!!

[@sethvicious]

trite

[@ilikehumans1096]

The songs are so raw and honest, but the small talk in between trivial and in my view unnecessary.

[@connorwelton7723]

Every KEXP show has interview questions in between the songs

[@adamlangdon11]

No one cares about you negative b.s. keep it to yourself,the closest you probably ever came to being a musician was playing Guitar Hero. Let's see you do anything she can do. She's been playing since Jr high,

[@KevanIrsch]

this host talks/laughs too much.
