Who knew? Pete Souza is a Brandi Carlile devotee - and she played at his wedding!

He picked her as one of his top 5 favorite Instagrammers: “Brandi is a singer-songwriter from Seattle who happens to front one of the most underrated bands working today. (She and the band played a set at my wedding two years ago.) She posts a lot of great concert photos as well as behind-the-scene photos of her traveling crew.”
