I got to see Brandi Carlile....

...and it was quite epic.

Tickets went on sale back in August and I called Chris and said "Hey, tickets for Brandi Carlile go on sale today, do you care if I buy them?  It's on a Saturday!!!!"  Which basically meant - I'm buying these tickets and you are going so embrace it!

We use to go to so many concerts before having a kid.  It's something we still do and enjoy but our priorities have changed a bit.  Like....it must be someone we REALLY like and more than likely it needs to be on the weekend because we aren't getting any younger.

You guys....if you don't know who Brandi Carlile is then you should.  I've been listening to her since 2005 and her voice is AMAZING.  I didn't think there was anyway that her voice could still sound so amazing live but she truly has a gift.  I was blown away and Chris was too!

Here are some links to to a few songs from that night but they are recorded on phones and cameras so it doesn't do her justice.

Follow - She opened with this and it made me cry.  Seriously, I really cried.
Dreams - This is a great song and I think her love for Elvis show through in this one a little bit.
Throw It All Away - This is the very first song I ever heard her sing and I was instantly hooked.
What Can I Say - This was amazing because she was completely unplugged and she rocked it out.
Downpour - I think this really pretty and she told a story about it on stage that made me really appreciate it.


The guy next to us, Tim, was really cool and he snapped some pictures and emailed them to us.
