Grammy, Tony and Emmy award-nominated singer, songwriter, actress, and author Sara Bareilles has announced her Amidst The Chaos Tour. The 30-city tour will kick off October 5th in Detroit, MI and make stops in Boston, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and more, before wrapping November 26th in Atlanta, GA. Locally, the tour includes stops in New York City (Sunday, October 13 at Madison Square Garden) and Philadelphia (Saturday, November 16 at The Met Philadelphia).
The tour brings Bareilles on the road in support of her fifth full-length album Amidst The Chaos. Variety said it "establishes that there's no one in contemporary pop better at flexing mezzo-soprano sensitivity and social empathy like a muscle. It's the perfect album for anyone who could use a little fierce snowflake pride."
This marks her first album of original material since 2013.
Bareilles first achieved mainstream critical praise in 2007 with her widely successful hit "Love Song," which reached No. 1 in 22 countries around the world from her debut album Little Voice. Since then, Sara has gone on to receive seven Grammy® nominations throughout her career, which include Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Love Song" and one Album of the Year for her highly acclaimed third studio album, The Blessed Unrest. Her book, Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) in Song, was released in the fall of 2015 by Simon & Schuster and is a New York Times best seller. Making her Broadway debut, Sara composed the music and lyrics for Waitress, for which she received her first Tony® Award nomination for Best Score and a 2017 Grammy® Award nomination for Best Musical Theater Album. She also made her Broadway acting debut in 2017 by stepping into the lead role in Waitress.
2018 was a big year for Sara, she co-hosted the Tony Awards®, was nominated for an Emmy® and Grammy® for her role in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, and was awarded with the Songwriters Hall of Fame's Hal David Starlight Award. Sara also teamed up with Apple as an executive producer for Little Voice a 10-episode series, which she will create the original music for.
