Earlier this month, Sara Bareilles kicked off Rolling Stone’s residency at New York’s Cherry Lane Theatre for her very first Rolling Stone Interview. She participated in an onstage version of our classic conversation series with Senior Writer Angie Martoccio, followed by a stripped-down performance alongside guitarist Butterfly Boucher and keyboardist Misty Boyce.
On Aug. 28, Bareilles will release Good Grief, her first new album in seven years. It’s a reflection on loss and the power of healing, paired with an accompanying documentary and tour. She detailed these upcoming projects and reflected on her career, from her 2007 breakout hit “Love Song” to her success on Broadway.
Sara Bareilles on the personal losses that inspired ‘Good Grief’: “I realized that grief must be witnessed. You must share it. It doesn’t heal on its own… Grief is a miracle. It’s just love.”
