On March 22nd and 23rd, alternative country/folk singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile is heading to New York to play a gig at the Carolina Theatre on August 7th.

A warm, seductive and original sound characterises her music - and her self-titled debut album was released in 2005, winning considerable critical acclaim.

Carlile spent a great deal of time traversing the planet in the run-up to its release, bringing her music to an ever-increasing fan base.

Her latest effort - Bear Creek - sees the singer-songwriter take advantage of this experience in order to craft material that is even more resonant with her own life,

Entry for the New York show costs $40 - and visitors to the city who are hoping to catch the gig would do well to consider booking rooms at the Millennium Broadway Hotel New York.

This is because the venue is ideally situated a short, ten-minute drive or taxi ride away from the accommodation.
