Backstage at the Grammys, Brandi Carlile had more Seattle shoutouts (The Seattle Times)

After winning her first rock Grammys, Brandi Carlile's "bringin' it home to the 206."

I was thinking about when all we wanted was to be rock stars. That’s the first concert I ever went to in Seattle. I mean, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam have been such champions and heroes of ours from the beginning, so I was really thinking about them when we got this award. I really get it and I don’t take it lightly. Phil Hanseroth: First show I ever went to when we were kids was Nirvana. So, I just feel a real penchant for giving back to the people who have paved the way for us to be here. I was thinking about our first van. Carlile: I think it’s clear to everybody that I feel a strong passion for honoring our icons and our way-pavers in the music industry, because I think it’s important for us to remember the language and remember the dance that was laid out before us. I was thinking about Matt [Vaughan] over at I feel like Americana is who we are, but that rock ‘n’ roll is what we do. So, I think rock ‘n’ roll can be a ballad or it can be a hard rock song, it can be up-tempo, I could be screaming or I could be whispering. But I think our roots, me and Phil, are in grunge, hard rock, punk, all that stuff.
