She was named to Rolling Stone’s “10 Artists to Watch in 2005” and by 2006, she’d joined several headlining tours with artists like The Fray, Shawn Colvin, and Tori Amos. An advocate of female empowerment, Carlile was inspired to create an all-female music festival called Girls Just Wanna Weekend, which has featured acts like the Indigo Girls, Margo Price, and Maren Morris among others.
