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)

Happy 2012 (Brandi Carlile and Star Anna)
Getting to photograph Brandi Carlile for last year's new years eve, was the PERFECT way to start 2011. I wanted to dedicate my year to being a better photographer, and branch out to shoot for other publications. However there was a SMALL piece of me that wished I wasn't working, and was lost in the music instead. I didn't end up shooting more this year, in fact I shot less. … [Read more...] about Happy 2012 (Brandi Carlile and Star Anna)
Brandi Carlile – 12/31/10 NYE
I honestly can't think of anything I would rather be doing on New Years Eve, than shooting Brandi Carlile! Actually that applies for almost any occasion, thats how addicted I am :) The show was full of song surprises, like the drummers (Alli) 2 min solo to start the show, 2 new songs (they recently recorded 8 new songs and plan to put out a new album this year), "The Story" … [Read more...] about Brandi Carlile – 12/31/10 NYE
11/20/10 “The Story” Man and his band
If you couldn't tell, this is a post about Brandis secret show at Neumos... and I can't remember the last time I had so much FUN at a show! Seeing Brandi at these small intimate shows is sooooo special to me. Seeing Brandi at small Seattle clubs is where I came from! I started seeing her in 2003. Back then "Turpentine" was more of a rock anthem, where you held your beer in … [Read more...] about 11/20/10 “The Story” Man and his band
11/19/10 Brandi Carlile w/ the Seattle Symphony
The first of 2 sold out nights with the seattle symphony Unlike a few years ago, when Brandi only played about 5 songs with the symphony, this year she did 14! Not only that, but they were the opening act as well, and 5 songs just as a band :) SET LIST: (opening set without orchestra) What Can I Say, Closer to You, Have You Ever, Dying Day, Crazy … [Read more...] about 11/19/10 Brandi Carlile w/ the Seattle Symphony
3/19/2010 Brandi Carlile Bellingham
This is the 3rd time I have seen Brandi at Mount Baker, and easily the best. If I ever had one gripe about the hometown shows, it was that "old favorites" would be more focused on rather than the new stuff. I'm not the only one that in the crowd that has heard "Turpentine" more times than I can count, we want to hear all the new stuff you've been practicing cross country. The … [Read more...] about 3/19/2010 Brandi Carlile Bellingham
I guess it’s time to get back to work…
I just got back from vacation in Detroit. While there, I got to see brandi in Ann Arbor (cuz I'm a fanatic and plan my life around her!). Not only did I get to see a show, but she did a in-store at Borders as well. Great time! She played "Touching the Ground", "Dreams", and "That Year". The show was being filmed for Borders, so hopefully we get the video released one day. I … [Read more...] about I guess it’s time to get back to work…
Best. Trip. Ever.
I just returned from a quick trip to CT. My best friend lives there, we met because of this website a few years ago (shes a brandi freak as well). its been a looong time coming for us to see a show together, so we ended up going to two :) We saw shows in northhampton, ma and portland maine. Both shows were a utter blast, and I came home with more photos than I know what to … [Read more...] about Best. Trip. Ever.
Brandi Carlile – 2/6/09 Bellingham, WA
The past few days ended up being a total "crash course" in concert photography. I've made every error a amateur could make (like failing to realize the lens was on manual focus, and getting nothing but out-of-focus pics!). Despite the learning curve and frustrations, its been a total blast. I was lucky enough to get a photo pass for this show.... my first! I was sooooo … [Read more...] about Brandi Carlile – 2/6/09 Bellingham, WA
Serena Ryder/Amy Ray/Brandi Carlile 2/4/09
I've been a big fan of Serena Ryder for over a year now, and have been waiting PATIENTLY to see her. I was literally beside myself to see that she was FINALLY coming to Seattle.... Amy Ray was playing the same night, and Brandi Carlile was making a surprise appearance. There's not too many people I would missing seeing Brandi for, Serena is one of the few. This was also the … [Read more...] about Serena Ryder/Amy Ray/Brandi Carlile 2/4/09
