Brandi + Symphony = Magic

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, my mom, sister, Christy and I went to see Brandi Carlile. (Christy was my teaching partner last year in Dual Language Kindergarten) If anybody knows Brandi Carlile, you know she is amazing. If you have seen her live, you know that she rocks! Words cannot express the concert we went to. Brandi performed with the Seattle Symphony and I was in heaven the whole night. The strings with her music were incredible! I wish everyone could have experienced it...but don't worry! She recorded the concert so I am guessing there will be a little live CD coming out one of these days.


(I look a little too excited)

Little did we know that the fun didn't end after the concert. While we were buying our shirts, we heard Brandi was going to come out and sign autographs. Oh, yeah...we met her. She signed our shirts and took a picture with us. She said we were cool people and asked us to hang out with her at The Tractor afterwards. Ok, maybe I was dreaming of the last part.


She said the yellow was a great place to sign her name so we agreed with her.



FYI: Brandi is on the Hotel Cafe Winter Songs CD I blogged about a few weeks ago.
(Track #2 - She opened the concert with this song)
