Grammy Award-winning musician Brandi Carlile will perform at the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center this week with special guest I’m With Her.
Carlile, whose most recent album “Returning to Myself” was released in October 2025, will take the CMAC stage on Thursday, Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. for “The Human Tour.”
According to Carlile, $2 from every ticket sold on this tour will go directly to Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation, which raises money to support humanitarian and social justice causes around the world.
“The Looking Out Foundation amplifies the impact of music by awarding grants, engaging community, and creating powerful partnerships,” the organization’s website states. “From neighborhood to nation, we activate our dedicated coalition of fan volunteers and utilize our platform to uplift humanitarian causes, organizations, and advocates leading the fight to create a better world.”
This will be CMAC’s 14th show of the 2026 summer concert season.
