Sara Bareilles « The Good Grief Tour »

Sara Bareilles brings The Good Grief Tour to Massey Hall in Toronto on September 16, 2026. The California-born songwriter built her voice around the piano, blending pop, rock and a touch of soul, with lyrics that look straight at doubt, love and self-belief. From early gigs in Los Angeles and her self-released Careful Confessions to the breakout of Little Voice, she’s shaped a catalog that balances direct melodies and unforced emotion. Kaleidoscope Heart and The Blessed Unrest expanded her palette; Amidst the Chaos returned to a grainier, close-up sound.

She also moves with ease between pop and the stage. As composer and lyricist of Waitress, then as a performer on Broadway, including Into the Woods, she’s honed a feel for pacing and storytelling that feeds her live shows. The Good Grief Tour strings these threads together: songs carried by piano and voice, arrangements that leave space, and a band built to serve the writing. A set shaped around songwriting and performance.
