The Highwomen Surprise-Release New Album ‘Live at The Gorge 2023’
The Highwomen, the group formed by Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby, surprise-released a new album, Live at The Gorge 2023, out everywhere today (May 29).
Along with the digital album, a new live music video for “Redesigning Women” is available now. The album arrives ahead of the group’s reunion performance as they headline the final night of Carlile’s “Echoes Through the Canyon” weekend at The Gorge Amphitheatre on Sunday (May 31). Sunday’s show will be the group’s first performance together since the 2023 edition of the festival, and will also feature Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Brittney Spencer.
“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 shit, 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 foursome made their live debut in 2019 at Loretta Lynn’s 87th Birthday Concert and have since performed at the Newport Folk Festival with Dolly Parton, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Howard Stern Show and The Kennedy Center Honors. Their self-titled debut album which features collaborations with Sheryl Crow and Yola debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and won Album of the Year at the Americana Music Honors & Awards and Best Country Song (“Crowded Table”) at the 63rd Annual Grammys.
The Highwomen will also join Maren Morris for a special performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre later this summer.
