Finally! You met Brandi Carlile…

I cried through Brandi Carlile’s 2019 Grammy performance.

I don’t know why… I guess pride for someone who has SO MUCH talent and is finally getting “seen” by the world!

She’s not only an extremely talented performer, she is a raw and real person who

(seems to be)

authentic, caring and compassionate. I have followed her for a decade and I love her!

So, I’m so glad you finally SAW her.

She (& the twins, Phil and Tim, who also make-up her band) walked away from the Grammys with 3 wins: Best Americana Album, Best American Roots Song (The Joke), & Best American Roots Performance (The Joke).

If you missed her Grammy performance:

Most recently, she did an amazing duet with Sam Smith with proceeds going to Children in Conflict. Check it out:

If that song was my most recent love… this was my first love:

And, now that I’m a Mom… I can’t help but love and weep over this song, “The Mother” (she has a great conversation about becoming a mom at the beginning of this video – and the song starts at 3:00)

So, start following her!

But, don’t forget to go back and appreciate all her work up to now! You won’t be disappointed.
