In addition to the Indigo Girls, the equally dynamic Brandi Carlile will be in attendance. Around the time she began getting serious about making music, Brandi Carlile would travel to Seattle’s Benaroya Hall for concerts, including solo performances by Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. “I watched them,” she recalls, “and I wondered what it would be like to stand on that beautiful stage.” Now she knows. The release of Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony marks the realization of two dreams for the acclaimed singer/songwriter: “We got to work with a world class symphony and record in this legendary venue in our hometown. The hall has such great acoustics, you can hear someone zip up their coat. “The stunning set features Carlile and her band running through a beautifully vibrant collection of her best-loved originals, including “Dreams” and “The Story,” as well as a number of cover songs she has come to make her own. In addition to a 30-piece orchestra, she’s joined by her stellar, longtime band featuring guitarist Tim Hanseroth and bassist Phil Hanseroth (collectively known as “The Twins”), cellist Josh Neumann and drummer Allison Miller. It is certain, anyone who’s ever attended one of Carlile’s shows will recognize the magic captured within. Unlike many albums that claim to be “live” but are full of studio fixes, “Live at Benaroya Hall” is pure, unadulterated Brandi. ” In saying that, November 16th at 7:30pm at The Alabama Theatre shall be no different as she shares the stage with the Indigo Girls.
