The Highwomen Surprise-Release New Live Album 'Live at The Gorge 2023'
(Sacks & Co) The Highwomen, the acclaimed collaborative movement formed by Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby, share their new live album, Live at The Gorge 2023-available to stream everywhere . Listen here.
"We weren't planning on releasing a live album," shares the group, "But in preparing for our upcoming reunion we recently listened back to The Gorge, and whatever happened out there that night came rushing right back...the adrenaline, the near misses, the harmonies locking in at exactly the right second, and the sound of thousands of people singing like they meant every word with their whole chest. The recordings sound wild, emotional, electric, human and exactly how that night felt...We could really feel the connection, the community and that rare oneness where everybody carried each other for a little while. And maybe that matters right now because when the world feels like it's coming apart at the seams, music still gives us a place to meet each other in the middle of it all, to sing too loud, cry in public, laugh at dumb sh*t, hold each other upright, and walk back out into the world feeling a little less alone a little more whole and a little more ready to keep fighting for each other. Just us, the crowd, the canyon, and whatever that feeling was. We sure hope you feel it."
The album arrives ahead of the group's highly anticipated reunion performance, as they're set to headline the final night of Carlile's "Echoes Through the Canyon" weekend at The Gorge Amphitheatre this Sunday. The group's first performance together since the 2023 edition of the festival, Sunday's show will also feature Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Brittney Spencer. The Highwomen will also join Maren Morris for a special performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre later this summer.
Alongside the digital album, a new live music video for "Redesigning Women" is available below.
