Songwriter and powerful singer, Brandi Carlile, has a spirited charisma, a no-nonsense appeal, and a brand new album called Bear Creek—which is named after the studio where it was recorded. A recent NYC stop brought Brandi and her bandmates, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, back to our studio, where they performed beautiful, stripped-down versions of a couple of the songs.
Brandi Carlile got a good education from the high-profile producers T Bone Burnett and Rick Rubin who helmed her previous releases. “I would liken working with A-list producers to going to college,” she says. “You don’t want to be a perpetual student. At some point, you need to apply your knowledge.” So for Bear Creek, Carlile was determined to take the wheel. She chose a studio environment closer – both physically and in spirit – to her own rural home.
