Award-winning star Brandi Carlile and her band charmed and rocked an excited crowd at Blossom on Saturday night.

Carlile and her band performed a powerful and dynamic two-hour show at Blossom Music Center on Saturday, Sept. 16.CUYAHOGA FALLS - Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile brought her latest tour to town and, in a two-hour show, rocked, encouraged, commiserated and charmed the crowd at Blossom Music Center on Saturday night.
The lovely and hopeful opening tunes, augmented by the lively string quartet, then jumped into the fist-pumping power chords and defiance of “Wild Horses,” the double Grammy-winning, rockin’ Americana tune and the bouncy foot-stomping “Things I Regret.” Then a sing-a-long of “You and Me On The Rock,” with harmony help from the string players, led into “The Story,” with its Radiohead “Creep”-like heavy down-stroking guitar coda.
It all added to Carlile’s aura as the approachable star, talented yet tethered to the regular responsibilities and everyday struggles and triumphs everyone in the room also lives through. She encouraged the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” to a fan’s mom. She talked of recently celebrating her 11th anniversary and how, without her wife and children on the road with her, she has quickly devolved into playing video games until 5 a.m., confessed with a modicum of shame.
Then she came up again for a hard-rocking, kinetic take on “Mainstream Kid” from the “Firewatcher’s Daughter” album featuring fiery vocals from show opener singer-songwriter-guitarist Katie Pruitt and The Twins all jumping around.
