With Elton John unable to appear at his annual Oscar viewing party to raise funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation he found the perfect surrogate in Brandi Carlile.
Ease and confidence is only part of why Carlile has become a go-to artist for legends like Mitchell and John. Watching the show with iconic music manager Andy Gould, who has seen it all in the industry, he raved about how Carlile is a throwback to the type of music that people came up on in the Seventies.
She showed that musically during the outstanding hour-long set, where she and her stellar band rocked a cover of Mitchell's"Woodstock," and she and friend Jake Wesley Rogers delivered a standout rendition of John's"Rocket Man."
