Testing Brandi Carlile's Music Knowledge | Track Star*

Video Description

Brandi Carlile, singer, songwriter, producer, activist, and one of the most formidable voices of her generation, joins us for a long-form conversation on the music game show today. Across a career that spans nearly two decades, Carlile has quietly (and then not so quietly) built a body of work that sits at the intersection of folk, rock, country, and soul. A multi-GRAMMY Award winner and revered collaborator, Brandi first learned about harmony and rhythm while performing as a backup singer for a friend’s Dad who happened to be an Elvis impersonator. She has now worked with everyone from Joni Mitchell to Elton John, while continuing to carve out a lane entirely her own. Carlile has released seven studio albums including her most recent, the three-time Grammy-winning “In These Silent Days.” In this episode, we talk about the songs that shaped her as a teen growing up in Washington and the influence of the neighboring music scene in Seattle, the serendipitous story behind how she met her wife and delve into some of her favorite artists and collaborations. Settle in and spend some time with an artist whose influence stretches far beyond the music itself.
