On Friday at 10 p.m. Central, we're broadcasting Brandi Carlile's concert, recorded live in November 2018 at the State Theatre in Minneapolis.

Carlile has been taking audiences by storm for years now, and her 2018 album, By The Way, I Forgive You, has only brought her further to the fore. In September of that year, she brought down the Ryman Auditorium with her performance of "The Joke" at the Americana Music Association's 2018 Honors and Awards Program, and she's also been taking the country by storm with The Highwomen, a group organized by Amanda Shires and featuring Carlile, Natalie Hemby and Maren Morris in the lineup.

Brandi Carlile performs three consecutive nights at the Fillmore in Minneapolis from Wednesday to Friday, Feb. 12 to 14, as part of that venue's grand opening.
