Brandi Carlile

One of music’s most respected voices, Brandi Carlile is an Oscar-nominee, 11-time Grammy winner, two-time Emmy winner, and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author. 

After pouring herself into projects with musical icons, Carlile looks inward on her new album, Returning To Myself (Interscope Records/Lost Highway), produced by Carlile, Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner, and Justin Vernon. The acclaimed album debuted at No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart and landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts. The record follows Who Believes in Angels?, the universally praised, Grammy-nominated collaborative album with her childhood hero Elton John, which debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. and top 10 in the U.S. 

In the midst of yet another monumental year, Carlile was recently honored as one of TIME’s 2026 Women of the Year, performed a rendition of “America The Beautiful” at Super Bowl LX, and kicked off her extensive The Human Tour, which consists of arena shows across North America, the U.K., and Europe. Carlile will also return to the Gorge Amphitheatre for three nights this spring with her "Echoes Through The Canyon" weekend, featuring The Highwomen, Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd, I’m With Her, Brittney Spencer, and Sara Bareilles. 

Beloved by her peers, Carlile has worked with artists such as Soundgarden, Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, Hozier, Noah Kahan, P!nk, and Dolly Parton. She was named OUT Magazine’s Icon of the Year and was awarded Billboard’s Women In Music Trailblazer Award and NMPA’s Songwriter Icon Award, as well as multiple awards from the Americana Music Association. Carlile is also a founder of the Looking Out Foundation, which has raised over $9 million for grassroots causes to date.
