Carly Reirson

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was six, my parents took me to see Alison Krauss at the Winspear Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. We sat in the bleachers and my parents brought binoculars to look through. I remember seeing the band all huddle together in the middle of the stage. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Brandi Carlile, Give Up The Ghost Jack Johnson, In Between Dreams Tony Bennett, k.d. lang, A Wonderful World Before his Duet Albums and before Lady Gaga, k.d. lang came first. My love of jazz and the female voice in one record. Jack Johnson was a staple in high school. A friend introduced me to Brandi Carlile over a decade ago and I've never looked back. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Aurora” I had to write a metaphor song for a school and was drawing a blank so when my friend asked me if I wanted to go for a drive, I went. Seeing the northern lights in the sky as we headed west was all the inspiration I needed to finish the song. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Recording is always a highlight for me. Being in the studio with professional musicians make my songs sound way better than I could make it on my own is very rewarding and exhilarating. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love to do a tour where I play my songs with philharmonic orchestras from all over the world. I love the orchestra and getting to play in their venues, especially the ones I grew up attending, would be a dream come true.
