Bio and profile of Brandi Carlile
You hear her once and u'll want more...
" Brandi Carlile grew up in Ravensdale, Wash., and made her live debut when she was just eight years old. As the story goes, her mother got her up on stage at "the Northwest's version of the Grand Ole Opry," where the young girl performed her version of Rosanne Cash's "Tennessee Flat-Top Box."
When she was still very young, Carlile taught herself to sing and play piano. She didn't teach herself to play guitar until she was 17.
Since then, she's never had a "real" job. She started out singing back-up vocals for an Elvis impersonator, and was playing gigs every chance she got. She eventually developed a back-up band with brothers Tim and Phil Hasenroth. Together, they began playing at local restaurants and bars, weddings, parties, and every other gig available.
In 2004, Carlile finally signed a deal with Columbia Records, and continued recording throughout that year. The resulting album, Brandi Carlile was recorded partly in studios in Seattle, and partly in her home in Maple Valley.
Since then, Carlile's career has taken off at rocket speeds. She was named one of Rolling Stone magazine's Top 10 Artists to Watch in 2005, and was invited to sing backing vocals for the Indigo Girls' forthcoming record. She's toured persistantly throughout the US and has garnered praise from press and fans in Americana communities, as well as alt.country and rock genres.

Home Alive is a Seattle based anti-violence non-profit organization that offers affordable self-defense cles and provides public education and awareness. They believe violence prevention is a community responsibility as well as an individual issue. Their work in self-defense encourages everyone to recognize their entitlement to the basic human right to live free from violence and hate. Their goal is to build a cultural and social movement that puts violence in a context of political, economic and social oppression, and frames safety as a human right.

All-Star Charity CD SERVE2: FIGHTING HUNGER AND POVERTY An unusual gathering of veteran rockers and new artists delivers up mostly rare and unreleased tracks to benefit the innovative anti-hunger organization WHY, founded more than 30 years ago by singer-songwriter Harry Chapin. Hard Rock International lives up to its creed to "Love All, Serve All" and continues their ongoing partnership with WHY to bring you Serve2, which includes everything from Springsteen doing "Ghost of Tom Joad" live in Dublin with his Seeger Sessions Band to Springsteen aficionados, the Hold Steady, doing their "Arms and Hearts." KT Tunstall offers up "Heal Over," performed live in London. Dylan is represented with his eternally scorching protest number, "The Ballad of Hollis Brown," live from Carnegie Hall in 1963, while Brandi Carlile also digs into Dylan's back pages for a live version of "The Times They Are A-Changin'." O.A.R. is here, live from the Garden, and Jackson Browne, live from Australia. And many others. Digital-only bonus tracks include ogoodbye rocking "Baby It's Fact," live in New York, and Sons of William tackling Derek and the Dominoes' clic "Bell Bottom Blues." But what really brings this disparate group together on this surprising and powerful collection is, of course, the very good cause: fighting hunger and the poverty and powerlessness that are at its root. The songs will be distributed digitally by The Orchard and released exclusively for the first two weeks on iTunes and then with other online music retailers. CDs are available now at all Hard Rock Café locations worldwide or via http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=267180906&s=143441 100% of the proceeds benefits WHY's fight against hunger and poverty.
