Brandi Carlile to play sold-out Varsity shows

"The Eye" — a new song by Brandi Carlile — is built on a three-part harmony featuring Carlile and her longtime bandmates (and identical twin brothers) Phil and Tim Hanseroth.

"Tim had been playing these two songs that you could really tell were beginning to take shape. Phil and me suggested that he combine them, and I added a last verse," Carlile told NPR. "We just decided to make this our one song where we sing evenly all the way through."

Carlile will be performing tonight and tomorrow at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis. Both shows are sold out.
