Sara Bareilles in Concert
Long before "Brave" hit the charts in 2013 and became her signature tune alongside the 2007 smash "Love Song," California-based singer songwriter Sara Bareilles's music embodied the word. Finding strength in vulnerability as well as her stomping, striding piano lines, the self-taught musician has made her name exploring the complexity of love and attraction with unflinching honesty and incredibly catchy hooks. Her style is pop in almost the classical sense of the word, with songs that directly relate with ticket buyers no matter what they are predisposed to like, as she shown on tours with the likes of Counting Crows, Maroon 5, and Sugarland. All of that touring paid off on her third full-length studio album, The Blessed Unrest, which debuted at #2 in the spring of 2013, right behind Jay Z. She showed herself to be in total command of the studio, as displayed in the anthemic "Brave," which she co-wrote with Jack Antonoff of the band Fun. But while she flourishes with layers of sound or fronting a rollicking band, Bareilles is just as powerful sitting at a piano by herself, which she proved with the October 2013 solo concert DVD and album, Brave Enough: Live at the Variety. Whatever the setting, her authenticity and ability to musically reveal her own truth cannot be denied.
Bareilles is going on a 30-city tour in 2019 celebrating her fifth studio album, Amidst the Chaos. The tour begins at the Fox Theatre Detroit on Oct. 5. She will visit Chicago, Boston, New York, St. Paul, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Orlando before ending the tour on Nov. 26 at the Fox Theatre Atlanta.

Great show... great venue... I only wish she would have placed even longer! Fairytale and Gravity stood out! Javier Dunn had a super good opening act as well.
Sara was amazing, she sounded great even better live.
She is probably one of the best performers out there. Her talent is just as good live if not better than it is on the album. She has a way of connecting with the audience that i have never experienced. Needless to say if you are even thinking about seeing her live stop thinking and just do it, you will walk away on a cloud of happiness and optimism.
Sara's a fantastic singer, and a multi-talented performer. Her band is great, and they put on a great show. If you're thinking about seeing them this tour, you should trust that instinct.
I've been to many concerts and this was without a doubt the best. No dancers, pyro, or gimmicks. It was all about Sara and her amazing voice!
Great show -I really enjoyed myself at the concert. Sara's an awesome live performer!
So first off, Sara Bareilles is incredibly talented!! I just didn't particularly like this show. I've been used to seeing her in smaller venues where it's a much more intimate setting and it's more about her voice and the music composition. This concert had a very different feel and as I said in my "review title" presented a different Sara Bareilles. There were a lot of lights and it was a show, a show show. Music was very loud and I thought it carried over her voice a lot. However, I was still satisfied! She closed with a beautiful acapella rendition of Gravity and had some solo time out on stage. I wish there was more of this and less of the snazzy lights. Those were actually pretty blinding.
Sara was amazing, as always!! her voice is breath taking. Not only is she an amazing performer, but i love that she is a "real" person! Had a blast at the concert! would see her again & again!
I am a big Sara fan, for a few years now. I think she has a wonderful voice and is a consummate entertainer. Tonight's show at LA's Orpheum was decidedly mixed. Sara was at times great, mostly when she played by herself and acapella. The sound system was horrible, or maybe it was the lack of separation, or maybe the wall of sound she has created with this new band. At times Sara's wonderful voice was overwhelmed by the drums and the base. At times the whole wall of sound made her a bit player. I think the whole set up tended to make her look small and sound small, hard to believe. And she didn't come on until 1 hour and 40 mins after the show started. And then only played for an hour + and then an encore. LONG wait by a very loving and tolerant audience. She can't do this too often
Sara can play an awful lot of instruments! She has an amazing voice and she shows her range even more live than in any of her recordings. Unfortunately, because she can't really move around while playing the piano, her energy is restricted to only her singing and playing. Good reactions to the crowd, really worth seeing live.
I have seen her 3 times before but always in a club setting. The Orpheum Theater show was a first class production, including an electronic keyboard made to look like a 1/4 size black baby grand piano and backup graphics. None of thisdetracted from her awesome talent. Her voice was in top shape and her songs always hit home!
Sara was fabulous, but didn't play long enough. She was on stage for about an hour and 15 minutes; pretty short for a headliner. Disappointing, but the hour and 15 minutes was extraordinary!
I'm probably not the typical Sara Bareilles fan being that I'm a straight male in this 30s, but I feel compelled to impress upon everyone how extraordinarily talented she really is. Her albums are well crafted and clever, and she harkens back to an era of singer-songwriters my father raised me on. Where most of her contemporaries would play their songs as if we were listening to the album, Sara deviates in creative ways that make you appreciate her songs that much more. Her acapella version of "Gravity" exudes soul, and who can't get behind a Radiohead cover with an Ukelele? She is a rare act these days that dazzles live without wardrobe changes and elaborate dancing. It some things up, see her live!
Read the title--she is incredible, and you really should go see her live. This was my third time seeing Sara live, and I loved it as usual.
For lovers of not just piano-based pop/soul music, but for lovers of music, in general. SB has a musical and lyrical gift, and the impressive ability to lament and sing heartache in a strong and independent way. Always personal, always authentic, and ultimately uplifting, SB performs great music in a manner that is impressive without being uppity.
Love Sara Bareilles. Would have liked a longer set but she is always amazing, witty, spunky, and great to see live. She's my hero!
The opening act with Javier Dunn was ok however when Sara came out for her opening song vegas, she really rocked the house. I really like the whole stage setup compared to her previous concert when she was mainly just playing the piano and singing. She kinda mixed it up a little bit while keeping the most important essence of her performance.
What guy can't appreciate a show with about a 20:1 girl to guy ratio? But that's not about music which is I suppose what people want to read about... Sara had some shining moments, mostly in the stripped down songs with less instruments and more of her stellar voice. I knew her voice was good, but live made me realize that her voice is fantastic. I have a big complaint though...IMO, artists need to stick to the songs that made them famous. I'm not talking about the setist, I'm talking about the way they play the songs. 2 of my favorite SB songs were played way sub-par because they decided not to try and emulate the song as recorded to the album. We like the album. We bought it. A little deviation is fine, but don't try and make it a funk song if it wasn't on the radio. If you want to impress me, add another stanza in the same style. I'm a sucker for alternate/additional lyrics. But don't mess with the style of the sound. I bought my ticket to hear that sound and it's a big disappointment when you stray too far off of it. That said, I was in the balcony of the Orpheum and the sound quality up there was muddled and washed out. Voices were indistinct, instruments blurred together...made me wonder if the reflections in the upper levels were much worse than lower center...
I forget what an amazing singer Sara is - I mean, she can really SING! Her show was vamped up and had way more production than her previous shows (now that she's made it to the big time!). Super engaging and adorable. Come back around here soon!
First off let me admit I am not familiar with Sara's work... just her first single.BUT when I saw her on Live from Abbey Road on Sundance I was VERY impressed. I have a 13 daughter and she is in choir and hates auto tune and I knew she would appreciate Sara's vocal work. We were not disappointed. Our favorite parts were the"intimate" parts as sometimes her voice got lost in the mix when the band (FANTASTIC) was playing. We bought some merch the new cd and a t-shirt and had a great time. Also her stage banter was great
