TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY
NOMINATED FOR ARTIST OF THE YEAR AT 2019 AMERICANA AWARDS
Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Brandi Carlile will perform three special shows at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium next year on January 14, 15 and 16. Tickets for the newly confirmed dates—which will feature special guests Kim Richey, Lucie Silvas and Natalie Hemby respectively—go on-sale this Friday, July 12 at 10:00 am CT.
These performances add to a landmark year for Carlile, who was recently nominated for Artist of the Year at the 2019 Americana Music Association Honors and Awards. The annual awards ceremony will take place on September 11 at the Ryman Auditorium.
The nomination celebrates the release of Carlile’s GRAMMY Award-winning album, By The Way, I Forgive You. Produced by Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings and recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, the album includes ten new songs written by Carlile and longtime collaborators and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth, including “The Joke.” Of her breakthrough performance of the song on the live GRAMMY broadcast, The New York Times proclaimed, “Carlile’s vocals were robust, ragged, full of sneer and hope. On a night curiously light on impressive singing, it was an uncomplicated, genuine, cleansing thrill.” Watch the full performance HERE.
Additionally, Carlile’s sold-out Girls Just Wanna Weekend will take place at the all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico from January 29-February 2, 2020 and once again features an all female-fronted lineup. In addition to multiple sets from Carlile, the festival will include performances by Sheryl Crow, Lake Street Dive, Patty Griffin, Lucius, Wanda Sykes (comedy set), KT Tunstall, Jade Bird, Amanda Shires and Yola as well as special guests Ruby Amanfu, Natalie Hemby and Katie Herzig.
Moreover, Carlile will continue to tour extensively throughout 2019 including a debut headline show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on September 14 as well as a special performance of Joni Mitchell’s Blue at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall on October 14. See below for complete details.
Released on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records (purchase), By The Way, I Forgive You also features the song, “Party Of One,” whose official music video starring Elisabeth Moss recently premiered (watch/share HERE). Produced by Whooden Collective, the video stars Moss, who also served as Creative Director and Producer, and features a female-led crew including Bérénice Eveno (Director), Nicole Disson (Co-star), Diane Pellegrino (Producer), Garen Barsegian (Executive Producer), Kate Siegel (Executive Producer), Tara Bassim (Line Producer) and Cristina Dunlap (Cinematographer). Moreover, a duet version of the song, featuring Sam Smith, is now available (listen/share HERE). Profits from the recording benefit Children in Conflict via Brandi Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation as part of its ongoing campaign to raise $1 million for children impacted by war.

Over the course of their acclaimed career, Carlile and her band have released six albums, including 2015’s The Firewatcher’s Daughter, which garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Americana Album. Additionally, in 2017, they released Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of the Story (An Album to Benefit War Child), which features 14 artists covering the songs on their breakthrough album The Story with all proceeds benefiting War Child. Artists included on the acclaimed project, which Rolling Stone calls, “tender and powerful,” include Dolly Parton, Adele, Pearl Jam, Kris Kristofferson, The Avett Brothers, Margo Price and Jim James as well as a forward written by President Obama.
