Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile is hands down our favorite singer and therefore we see her whenever she comes to SLC.  Thankfully, for the past three years she has been part of the Red Butte Garden Summer Concert series and this has quickly been established as one our favorite summer "To Do's".  This year we took my sister Taylor along with us for her birthday.  Good times ensued.  There are so many things I love about this concert:  lounging on blankets, hanging with Becca and this year Tay, packing and nibbling at picnic food and drinks, and generally enjoying being outdoors.  Of course, the music is awesome.  There is something about Brandi's songs that speak to our souls.  This year her SLC stop was the final date of the tour and as such she was having fun and played the longest set she's played to date in SLC--almost three hours.  FAB.  To start the day she said "We love being in Salt Lake City and tonight we're going to rock your faces off".  And they did.
