Brandi Carlile

After years of creative collaboration with icons like Joni Mitchell and Elton John, Brandi Carlile turns inward with Returning to Myself—a radiant new chapter hailed by ArtsDesk as “one of her finest efforts and one of the best albums of the year…as luminous as the northern lights.” It’s a project that finds Carlile reflecting on her journey while embracing the raw honesty and soaring emotion that first made her a singular voice in American music.

As NPR’s Tiny Desk raves, “Carlile is a bona fide superstar whose compositions feel like instant classics.” That rare ability—to write songs that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant—has made her a beloved collaborator and kindred spirit to artists across genres, from The Highwomen and Soundgarden to Alicia Keys, Hozier, and Dolly Parton.Named OUT Magazine’s “Icon of the Year” and honored with Billboard’s Women In Music “Trailblazer Award,” Carlile’s impact extends far beyond the stage. Through her Looking Out Foundation, she has helped raise more than $8 million for grassroots causes—embodying the same compassion and conviction that brings life to her music.

Vanity Fair declares, “Her voice is the eighth wonder of the world; her swagger astonishing and absolute.” Experience the wonder that is Brandi Carlile live at Ravinia, enjoying an evening of soul-stirring anthems from one of the most compelling artists of our time.
