Sara Bareilles: The Good Grief Tour

Sara Bareilles brings her deeply personal new album *Good Grief* to Houston on her fall 2026 headlining tour. The upcoming seventh studio album, set for release on August 28, 2026, explores themes of loss and comfort, with Bareilles describing the songs as "transmissions" aimed at providing catharsis. Fans can expect an intimate evening of storytelling and stripped-back arrangements, featuring tracks like the lead single "Home," which was sparked by a conversation about grief with Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper.

The tour supports not only the album but also a companion documentary film, *Come See Me in the Good Light*, offering a behind-the-scenes look at this creative chapter. Bareilles, known for her powerful vocals and confessional lyrics, will perform songs from across her catalog, creating a warm, reflective atmosphere. The album was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios in Woodstock, New York and Aaron Dessner's Long Pond Studio in the Hudson Valley.

This stop in Houston is part of a wider fall tour, bringing the album's intimate yet universal themes to life on stage. With *Good Grief* co-produced by Bareilles, Dessner, and Jonathan Low, the live show is expected to capture the album's raw, emotional core.
