Brandi Carlile with special guest Jensen McRae

There’s a certain kind of voice that doesn’t just sound good… it *feels* like something. That’s what you get with Brandi Carlile. Her music moves between folk, rock, and Americana, but it always lands in the same place emotionally… honest, grounded, and powerful without trying too hard. Whether it’s a quiet acoustic moment or a full-band swell, she has a way of pulling a room in and holding it there, like everyone’s sharing the same breath for a second.

Her live shows lean into that connection. Backed by longtime collaborators and a tight band, the songs open up in a way that feels bigger than the recordings. You’ll hear the hits, sure, but also the deeper cuts that longtime fans hold onto. There’s storytelling woven in, a little humor, a little reflection… and then those moments where her voice just lifts and fills the space in a way that sticks with you long after the song ends.

Opening the night, Jensen McRae brings a quieter, introspective energy that sets the tone perfectly. Her songwriting is sharp and observant, the kind that sneaks up on you with a line that hits harder than you expected. Together, it makes for a night that builds naturally… from intimate to expansive… giving you space to feel the music instead of just hearing it.
