Brandi Freakin’ Carlile

This woman. No words for the extraordinary talent and skill she possesses, her lyricism and wit, her generosity and playfulness. I’ve seen her perform over a dozen times and it is always fresh and vibrant. A queer icon who is constantly expanding her activism, I respect her growth and maturation as much as I adore her musical chameleonship. She has a song for every mood and vibe. I love her.
