Brandi Carlile is bringing her stellar band and bluesy croon back to Salt Lake City this winter for a two-show, one-night run. ---

Sure, a lot of artists say Salt Lake City is their favorite stop, but when 31-year-old singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile says it, you can’t help but think it’s sincere. And Salt Lakers love her, too -- every show sells out.

A Carlile concert is full of charm, jokes and dancing, not to mention her killer repertoire of tunes. She performed to a sold-out Red Butte Garden crowd this summer. Read a review here.

She returns for a one-night engagement at The State Room on Friday, Dec. 14. Doors open at 6 p.m., with music at 7 p.m. for the early show. Doors open at 9:30 p.m., with music at 10 p.m. for the late show. Tickets will be on sale Friday, Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. and are $42.
