A salute to Brandi Carlile – our 2018 most inspiring artist:

Waiter send this to Brandi Carlile for her inspiration

Our way of honoring her artistic grace

And now six times a Grammy nominee

A small nod for all you’ve done

Let’s go back to the starting place

February 16th By The Way, I Forgive You

10 tracks full of purpose

The devil don’t take a break

But “Hold Out Your Hand” because

“Most of All” there’s “The Joke”

Let them laugh while they can, let them spin

Let Benicio Bryant sing

Two welled-up eyes

Man, what a song

There was Tim, Phil and Joni Mitchell

Howard Stern and Seth Meyers

Plus Danny Clinch, Elton John and Pearl Jam as the Home Shows aspire

Because your “Again Today” and emotion and duet with Sam Smith

Were all… just wow

Oh your constant giving with your Looking Out Foundation

Is impacting more than you can know

And Girls Just Wanna Weekend, If Project too

Singing for Gig Harbor shows

Because when you’re home, you’re already home

We are grateful

We are grateful

For don’t ever let them steel your joy

For your push to vote and show your voice

And “For Every Time I Hear That Song”

Let them laugh while they can, let them spin

And when pushing comes to shove

Remember what comes back when you give

And “Whatever You Do”… love

Can’t forget Newport Folk Festival

Or Sea.Hear.Now or ACL

Scott Avett’s art and Jimmy Kimmel

Then Elijah

And “The Mother” of

Evangeline

Now the holidays

And the joys of home

Thank you, Brandi, Thank you, Brandi, Thank you, Brandi, Thank you, Brandi

For your shows, for your music, for your spiirt, for your tours

For your passion

This is yours.
