Who, praytell, is Brandi Carlile? Up until a few days ago I also had no idea. Then I got an e-mail from a publicist at Columbia Records who invited me to the show she was doing at Pianos. I listened to Brandi's CD and was shocked at how good she was. Basically she's a girl with a guitar and quite a set of pipes. Think of a mix of Mama Cass and Melissa Etheridge. Her voice is full and smokey and it's such a relief to see a female artist embrace her lower register as opposed to shooting for all the vocal gymnastics, a la Mariah Carey. It's great if you can do it, but most can't.
Anyhow, Brandi Carlile was amazing and everyone should check her out.
It's been a few posts since I added any photos, so here is one of Sue and I on Saturday, when she got married.
More to come! Photographer Bruno won't send me any more until he shows them all to Sue, so until then I just have to wait. And I don't like waiting. Bah!
