In the end, Carlile took home the Grammy for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for her song “Broken Horses.”

Upon winning her award, Carlile had this to say.

“I cannot tell you how much this means to us, we’re born and raised in Seattle and when I met these guys 22 years ago we decided to get in a van and be a band together,” she said. “They had never even played an acoustic guitar and then this happened.”

Carlile and bandmates Phillip John and Timothy Jay Hanseroth then went on to say thanks which included a thank you for Seattle.

“I want to thank” … “everybody in Seattle that made us want to strive for this incredible Accolade.”
