Brandi Carlile Welcomes Allison Russell & Lucius At Red Rocks

Brandi Carlile brought out Allison Russell and Lucius for guest appearances on Friday during her concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver. Russell and Lucius both opened Carlile’s first of two Beyond These Silent Days Tour stops at the famed Morrison, Colorado venue.

Lucius’ Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig emerged after Brandi began her set with “Broken Horses” and “Mainstream Kid” to accompany Carlile and her band on “You And Me On The Rock.” The song was one of seven from Brandi’s 2021 studio album, In These Silent Days, played at Red Rocks last night.

Wolfe and Laessig returned later in the set to join Brandi on a cover of Heart’s “Alone.” Carlile went on to end her 15-song main set at Red Rocks sans guests with “The Joke” and “Party Of One.” Brandi came back to kick off her encore with a take on Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock.” Carlile then invited Allison Russell and her band to share the stage on “You’re Not Alone.” Brandi recently contributed to a new studio version of the song originally released by Russell’s group, Our Native Daughters.

Band members’ children and family also lined the stage for the memorable “You’re Not Alone” performance. Carlile then ended the night with “Hold Out Your Hand” and “Stay Gentle.” Brandi concludes the two-night stand at Red Rocks tonight.
