Brandi Carlile's Sober Stage: No More Booze Before Shows

On March 31st, Brandi Karlao, the 44-year-old Grammy winner, has sworn off booze before her

live shows after some wild on-stage slip-ups.

She opened up recently about how a casual drink used to help her chill before hitting

the stage, but now she's all sober to keep things tight.

It all stems from that rough hangover vibe and owning every off-the-cuff line in front

of thousands the next day.

Karlao says the real trouble kicks in during those quiet gaps between songs when you're

mouth runs free.

Picture this.

A gig in Las Vegas where a few drinks led her to leap off the drum platform, knees giving

out mid-air.

She turned the fall into a goofy slide move from her favorite cult rock flick, then yelled

out a crude follow-up stunt to the crowd.

Crickets turns out her mostly middle-aged lesbian fans had in caught the movie reference.

That flop sealed the deal for her.

No more mixing liquor with performances, she's drawing a hard line there to stay sharp.

These days, Karlao's channeling that clear head into her music, like her album returning

to myself from last October, proving she's thriving without.

The drinks.
