Brandi Carlile chats to I Like Music
Brandi is an incongruous sight as she steps into the foyer of the plush hotel where we meet. She looks tiny in skinny jeans and a tight new jacket, hair clipped back, sultry eyes. Born in rural Washington state, where she still lives, she grew up a true country girl making forts, climbing trees and fishing.
"I never got in trouble or anything but I was like a really rough and tumble kind of tomboy, always getting my clothes dirty and things like that. I have a brother that's really close in age so we were like twins and my dad always just sort of treated me like my brother so I never got excluded from any of those kinds of activities".
