Brandi Carlile to play at Foxwoods

- By John Atashian

Three time Grammy Award winner Brandi Carlile is set to perform at the Grand Theater at the Foxwoods Resort Casino on Oct. 24. Brandi is in the midst of a landmark year, following the release of her Grammy winning album, “By The Way, I Forgive You.”

Produced by Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings and recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, the album includes ten new songs written by Carlile and longtime collaborat­ors and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth, including “The Joke.”

Over the course of their acclaimed career, Carlile and her band have released six albums, including 2017’s “Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of the Story” (An Album to Benefit War Child), which features 14 artists including Dolly Parton, Adele, Pearl Jam, Kris Kristoffer­son, The Avett Brothers, Margo Price and Jim James, with a forward written by Barack Obama, covering the songs on Carlile’s 2007 breakthrou­gh album “The Story.” Profits from the project benefit Children in Conflict via Brandi Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation as part of its ongoing campaign to raise $1 million for children impacted by war.
