Brandi Carlile is slated to perform a special acoustic performance in Portland on April 5th and Seattle on April 6th. These shows will be the only opportunity for fans to hear the songs from the iTunes exclusive EP XOBC performed live. In addition to these acoustic performances, Carlile has announced new spring and summer dates, listed below, including Bonnaroo and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Brandi Carlile's latest album, Give Up the Ghost, was released on October 6, 2009 on Columbia Records and has been met with enormous critical acclaim. Paste Magazine crowned her "the best voice in indie rock," and Billboard Magazine said Carlile "channels heartache, fear, nostalgia and joy in nearly the same breath, creating a vivid pastiche of alt-folk pop." Entertainment Weekly said "she commands the spotlight with ease throughout, thanks in large part to her distinctive throaty falsetto – even making Elton John seem like a sideman when he shows up for a duet."
