Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile is a singer-songwriter from Seattle with a batch of sad, romantic songs and a forceful, wide-ranging voice that verges on histrionic (we mean that in a good way). Also, she has a tattoo of the snake symbol from The NeverEnding Story on each of her shoulders. Fact! For all these reasons, you're gonna want to snag a ticket to her one-night-only show at the Troubadour—technically it's sold out, but we're confident you know where to look to get around that.
