By Friday November 2, you should be well out of your candy coma from Halloween. Right? Okay, maybe not. Maybe you’re still drunk on sugar or the sauce, but that’s all right! The Fillmore has an excellent cure for a Halloween hangover and that just happens to be some pretty cool music. Starting at 8 pm, get your ass up to go see Brandi Carlile and Blitzen Trapper at The Fillmore. If you still feel like donning your costume ‘cause it was just that cool the first time around, go for it. I’m sure no one will notice.
Brandi Carlile is a country-rock sensation who has toured up and down the States with the dynamic Hanseroth twins, Phil and Tim. The three of them write, produce, and perform their songs and the result is a musical catalogue that has natural, undeniable chemistry. Carlile started performing at a young age, so one might say that music is in her bones. The three have earned their chops having played in coffee houses, bars, and the like before touring nationally. Carlile has toured with popular acts like The Avett Brothers, Ray LaMontagne, and Dave Matthews. She’s been hailed by several musicians like Sheryl Crow for her remarkable voice and talent. The most recent album, Bear Creek, was released in June 2012. The album harkens back to Carlile’s roots, literally. The studio of the same name in Woodenville, WA is close to Carlile’s home and proved to be a perfect setting for recording the album. With a rustic, almost unpolished sound, the record sounds similar to a live performance, which is exactly what Carlile and The Twins hoped for. Check them out on Friday for a first-hand glimpse of what’s sure to be a solid live performance.
Show starts at 8 P.M. Tickets on sale for $29 General Admission
