Tonight, musical powerhouse Brandi Carlile hits the Grandstand at the Minnesota State Fair for a heavily anticipated (and sold-out) show.

Let’s not only highlight Carlile’s personal releases, but also spotlight her as a collaborator. Whether it’s guest appearances, bringing in artists to play on her songs, or writing and producing for other artists.

Not going to the show and/or don’t wanna feel left out? Join The Current at the Black Hart of St. Paul for our Brandi Carlile concert pre-party. At 6 p.m., we’ll be giving away the last pair of tickets to the show.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs by Brandi Carlile or songs featuring her as a collaborator do you want to hear?
