Singer-Songwriter will perform live on September 15th
UNCASVILLE, CT (July 11, 2016) – Seattle based Singer-Songwriter Brandi Carlile will be hitting the road this fall and is making her way to Connecticut for a live performance in Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, September 15th at 7:30pm.
Tickets are $35.00 and go on sale Saturday, July 16th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com or call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Sunday, July 17th, subject to availability.
Since her heralded, genre-defying 2005 Columbia debut, Brandi Carlile and her indispensable collaborators, Tim and Phil Hanseroth, aka The Twins, have always offered listeners both control and abandon, often within a single song. The most well-known Brandi Carlile tunes, 2007’s “The Story” and 2012’s “That Wasn’t Me,” are dynamic journeys in themselves, encompassing myriad emotions and varied stylistic touches; “The Story” morphs from understated balladry to epic stadium Rock, while “That Wasn’t Me” effortlessly straddles Country Soul and Pop Gospel. Infused with Carlile’s clarion voice, The Twins’ tight sibling harmonies, and stellar musicianship from everyone, it all simply sounds like Brandi Carlile.
“Everyone needs to be risking something,” says Carlile. She’s discussing the M.O. behind The Firewatcher’s Daughter, her stunning new release – her first for artist-friendly indie label ATO. The 12-song collection marks a triumphant return after a three-year recording hiatus, and her strongest, most Rock & Roll album to date.
