Sara Bareilles « The Good Grief Tour »

Sara Bareilles brings The Good Grief Tour to Massey Hall in Toronto on September 17, 2026. A California-born singer, pianist and songwriter, she builds songs around the piano with an easy swing between pop, soul and rock, and a writing voice that zeros in on relationships, doubt and self-assertion. From early days self-releasing Careful Confessions to Little Voice, Kaleidoscope Heart, The Blessed Unrest and Amidst the Chaos, she’s shaped a catalog that balances hooky melodies with clear, conversational lyrics. In parallel, she’s moved fluidly into musical theatre, composing the score for Waitress and appearing on Broadway.

On stage, she keeps the focus on melody and storytelling: supple vocals, tight harmonies and arrangements that leave space for dynamics. Expect a set that traces her path from intimate piano pieces to fuller band moments, with flashes of the theatrical sense she’s honed in recent years. Between songs, she often shares the stories behind them, giving the night the warmth of a conversation without losing momentum.
