In conjunction with National Gun Violence Awareness Day, Brandi Carlile's music video for "Hold Out Your Hand" is premiering today via NPR Music. Watch/share HERE. Of the acclaimed musician, NPR Music's Ann Powers declares, "...when Brandi Carlile commits to a cause, she commits. That's not a surprise-the Washington state-based singer-songwriter is famous for the depth of her dedication, whether to family, a cause, or the gorgeously crafted songs that have made her a central figure in the 21st-century singer-songwriter scene."
Filmed during Seattle's March For Our Lives, the video was directed by Kathlyn Horan and was created in partnership with The Alliance for Gun Responsibility, The IF Project and TinFish Films.
"Hold Out Your Hand" is from Carlile's acclaimed new album, By The Way, I Forgive You, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Current Albums chart, Rock Albums chart and Americana/Folk Albums chart and No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart-a career high for the acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer.
In addition to their work as a band, Carlile and longtime collaborators and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth remain committed to social activism and advocacy. Together, they are founders of the Looking Out Foundation, which aims to amplify the impact of music by empowering those without a voice. From neighborhood to nation, the foundation helps fund causes and organizations that often go unnoticed. $1 from every concert ticket sold goes directly toward efforts to support the diverse demographic they aim to serve.
