As many times as I've seen Brandi, it never gets old (obviously). And every time I see her at Easy Street, I get this Deju Vu feeling....... that despite how much time or distance has passed, we are all still here... like It's 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 all over again. No matter how big she gets, she's still here for us. It's like no time has passed at all. I'm still right here, … [Read more...] about 6/5/12 Brandi Carlile (Easy Street Records)

1/25/2012 Jessie Baylin

It's no secret that I love live shows, even if they mean staying out late on a work night and being sleep deprived the next day.

I would eat the money loss than head out in the cold. … [Read more...] about 11/22/11 Rachael Yamagata
