Brandi Carlile:
December 12, 2022—Brandi Carlile returned to NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” as the musical guest this past weekend with hosts Steve Martin and Martin Short. The acclaimed six-time Grammy Award-winner, who is nominated for another seven awards this year, performed her beloved breakthrough song, “The Story,” along with this year’s Record of the Year-nominated, “You and Me on the Rock” with special guests Lucius.
Of the performance, Carlile shares, “For some reason it just felt right to play ‘The Story’…ending this year honoring our younger selves. Maybe it’s in deep gratitude, or maybe it’sbecause I finally do have some lines on my face. Either way thanks for giving us that gift SNL I will never forget it.”
Carlile will tour throughout next year including newly confirmed solo shows at Portland, ME’s State Theatre, Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre (two nights) and Durham’s Durham Performing Arts Center. Tickets go on-sale this Friday, December 16 at 10:00AM local time, while Carlile’s fan club, The Bramily, will have special pre-sale access to tickets starting today at 10:00AM ET/7:00AM PT.

The upcoming performances add to yet another monumental year for Carlile, who is nominated for seven awards at the 65th GRAMMY Awards: Album of the Year (In These Silent Days), Record of the Year (“You And Me On The Rock” feat. Lucius), Best Americana Album (In These Silent Days), Best Americana Performance (“You And Me On The Rock” feat. Lucius), Best American Roots Song (“You And Me On The Rock” feat. Lucius), Best Rock Performance (“Broken Horses”) and Best Rock Song (“Broken Horses”). Already a six-time Grammy Award-winner, this year’s accolades bring her total number of Grammy nominations to 24.
Inspired by the mining of Carlile’s own history while writing last year’s #1 New York Times Best Selling memoir, Broken Horses (Crown), In These Silent Days was released last fall to overwhelming acclaim on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records. A newly released deluxe version of the album, entitled In The Canyon Haze, features reimagined Laurel Canyon-inspired versions of each song from the original album, plus a special rendition of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” (stream/purchase here). Deluxe vinyl and a special CD bundle featuring the deluxe and an accompanying 80-page paperback archive are also now available. The book features never-before-seen photos and handwritten notes from the studio, photo shoots, video sets, televisionperformances, life on the road and much more. Purchase here.
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 to collaborative projects with Elton John, The Highwomen, Tanya Tucker, Soundgarden, Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, Barry Gibb, Leslie Jordan, Brandy Clark and more—she has earned six Grammy Awards for 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 2022’s Song of the Year (“Right on Time”), 2021’s Artist of the Year, 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.
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 $3 million for grassroots causes.
