In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile released the music video for her song, “The Mother,” which shows what motherhood means in different cultures. The entire crew behind the making of the visual was entirely female.
In addition to the video release, Carlile has announced a concert vacation weekend titled Girls Just Wanna Weekend produced by Cloud 9 Adventures and Bowery Presents. The event will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico from January 29 to February 2, 2020. The lineup will be all female including Sheryl Crow, Lake Street Dive, Patty Griffin, Lucius, Wanda Sykes (comedy set) and more. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, May 10 at 12 PM. Tickets can be purchased here.
Carlile will also be embarking on a headlining North American tour, which includes a debut at Madison Square Garden. The tour schedule is posted below and you can check out her website for more information.
