Brandi Carlile is just a few hours away from taking the stage at the Weesner Family Amphitheater for the first of two shows at the Minnesota Zoo. These shows mark the beginning of a 3-month tour in support of her latest release, 'Bear Creek'. We [Cities 97] have a long history with Brandi going back to the early days of her career so we were more than a little excited to take a walk down memory lane in her latest Tumblr post:

Hey everyone! I'm in Minneapolis getting ready to start the Bear Creek Summer Revue. This is and always has been one of my favorite cities...I remember playing the 400 bar and there being a few hundred people there. I could have played all night...at the time it was I think the only show on the tour that had sold out! We were so happy about that hahaha! This city has since become a total celebration and a beloved stop for us...There are even whispers of us coming here to play our NYE show (aka party...usually involves heavy metal) here this year...shhhhhhh


There is still hope for fans looking to attend both shows as it looks like there are still a small handful of tickets available via Ticketmaster here. I can't imagine they'll last long, so nab them up while you can and be sure to tune in (or stream it via iHeartRadio) for our Studio C session from Brandi this Friday at 4pm!
