Brandi Carlile weaved in and out of country stomps and ballads and covered Elton John and Joni Mitchell at her intimate Grammy Week concert in L.A. Our recap
is nothing if not a wizard with her setlist. In her intimate Los Angeles show Thursday evening at the Palladium — the third of four concerts as part of the Citi Sound Vault Grammy Week series — Carlile weaved in and out of country stomps and ballads, hyping up concertgoers and tugging on heartstrings as if she was curating a playlist for a romantic partner.
The alt-country singer-songwriter, no stranger to playing smaller venues between festival and arena performances, opened with the on-your-feet singalong “Hold Out Your Hand,” which has become a usual opener for her in the past year. Powering through a 90-minute set, Carlile’s sound was as versatile as her catalog. She hit a borderline yodel on songs like “Raise Hell,” sang bluegrass three-part harmonies with longtime band members Tim and Phil Hanseroth a few minutes later, then rocked out on a Gretsch. Throughout, she melded crowd-pleasers like Grammy-winning single “The Joke” with covers such as Elton John’s “Madman Across the Water.
The talkative singer quipped about her wife Catherine’s dry British wit, and how her oldest daughter Evangeline was “basically a Republican” at six years old.“She’s my best friend and my arch rival,” Carlile said of Evangeline jokingly. “She started that shit day one by being born to two mothers on Father’s Day.”
Carlile appeared to be holding back a tear while singing her solo acoustic “The Mother,” written about Evangeline.
