July 29, 2021—“ Echoes Through The Canyon”— Brandi Carlile’s triumphant return to
Washington’s legendary Gorge Amphitheatre—will be simultaneously livestreamed via
Veeps on Saturday, August 14 (tickets available here). In addition to Carlile, the historic
concert will feature nine-time Grammy Award winning artist, close friend and frequent
collaborator, Sheryl Crow, along with acclaimed emerging songwriter and musician,
Amythyst Kiah. The first streamed amphitheater show since Veeps began equipping venues
across the country with turnkey livestreaming, the concert is also Carlile’s first full capacity
hybrid show and will be available to re-watch through August 28. The performance comes in advance of the six-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, performer, producer and New York Times Best Selling author’s highly anticipated new album, In These Silent Days, which will be released October 1 on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records ( pre-order/pre-save). Ahead of the release, the album’s first single, “ Right On Time,” featuring a music video directed by Courteney Cox, recently premiered. Watch/share HERE. Of the album, Carlile shares,
“Never before have the twins and I written an album during a time of such uncertainty and quiet solitude. I never imagined that I’d feel so exposed and weird as an artist without the armor of a costume, the thrill of an applause and the platform of the sacred stage.
Despite all this, the songs flowed through—pure and unperformed, loud and proud, joyful and mournful. Written in my barn during a time of deep and personal reckoning.
There’s plenty reflection…but mostly it’s a celebration.
This album is what drama mixed with joy sounds like. It’s resistance and gratitude, righteous anger and radical forgiveness.
It’s the sound of these silent days.”
Released to widespread acclaim, Carlile debuted the song last week on “ The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” with NPR Music praising, “Just when we needed her, Brandi Carlile returns,” while Billboard calls the single, “gorgeous,” Stereogum declares, “tremendous,” Rolling Stone asserts, “cathartic” and Variety proclaims, “there’s no more anticipated album this year than the one Carlile has coming this fall.”

Inspired by the mining of her own history while writing this year’s #1 New York Times Best Selling memoir Broken Horses (Crown), In These Silent Days was conceived of while Carlile was quarantined at home with longtime collaborators and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth. The ten songs chronicle acceptance, faith, loss and love and channel icons like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Elton John and Joni Mitchell—the latter two who, by some sort of cosmic alignment of the stars, have turned out to be close friends in addition to being her biggest heroes and inspirations.
Recorded once again at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A with producers Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings, the album features Carlile (vocals, guitar, piano), Tim Hanseroth (vocals, bass), Phil Hanseroth (vocals, guitar), Cobb (guitar, percussion) and Jennings (piano, organ, synth) as well as Chris Powell (drums, percussion), Josh Neumann (strings) and special guests Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius on backing vocals on the track “You And Me On The Rock.”
In These Silent Days follows Carlile’s 2018 breakthrough GRAMMY Award-winning album, By The Way, I Forgive You, which Rolling Stone declared, “…an Adele-meets Joni Mitchell tour de force.” In the years since—in addition tocollaborative projects with The Highwomen, Tanya Tucker, Soundgarden, Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, Barry Gibb, Leslie Jordan, Brandy Clark and more—she has earned six Grammy Awards recognizing her work as a performer, songwriter and producer, was awarded Billboard’s Women In Music “Trailblazer Award,” CMT’s Next Women of Country “Impact Award” and received multiple recognitions from the Americana Music Association Honors & Awards including 2020’s Album of the Year (Highwomen), Group of the Year (The Highwomen) and Song of the Year (“Crowded Table”) and 2019’s Artist of the Year. Carlile is also once again nominated for Artist of the Year and Group of the Year (The Highwomen) at the 2021 ceremony, to be held in September.
In addition to their work as a band, Carlile and the Hanseroth twins remain committed to social activism and advocacy. Together they are founders of the Looking Out Foundation, which amplifies the impact of music by empowering those without a voice with varied initiatives including campaigns focused on Children in Conflict/War Child, The IF Project, Fund Racial Justice and more. To date, they have raised over $2 million for grassroots causes.
