Brandi Carlile celebrated the release of her new album, “Returning to Myself,” with an intimate performance at Easy Street Records, a venue that holds a special place in her heart. The event was designed especially for fans who purchased the album through the store, culminating in a sold-out show that filled up quickly following the surprise announcement made earlier this week.
As fans lined up outside the historic Hamm Building, excitement buzzed in the air two hours before the show was set to begin. Once the doors opened at 6 PM, eager attendees poured into the store, filling it to capacity while others gathered outside, peering in as the venue opened its “garage door” to accommodate more spectators.
During her performance, Carlile delighted the audience with not only the title track and lead single from her new album but also a rendition of her beloved classic, “The Story.” She continued to showcase her latest work with the song “Church and State,” further connecting with her fans through her heartfelt lyrics and powerful vocals.
This visit to Easy Street marks Carlile’s return to the venue after a surprise appearance eleven months ago with her longtime collaborators, the Hanseroth Twins. Easy Street Records is known for hosting various in-store shows each week, providing a platform for artists and a haven for music lovers.
Brandi Carlile’s return to this cherished venue underscores her commitment to connecting with her fans in meaningful ways, celebrating the release of her new music while paying homage to the places that have supported her journey.
