Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles<\/a> is hitting the stage on her new Good Grief Tour, which promotes not just her new album but also a new documentary, Sara Bareilles: Good Grief. The tour stops at Bass Concert Hall in Austin on October 6.<\/p>\n

Bareilles will start the relatively short tour in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 9 and close it out in Seattle, Washington, on October 19. In addition to Austin, she’ll stop in Houston at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts on October 7.<\/p>\n

Right after the tour ends, Austinites will get to hear more of Bareilles’ work in a previously announced<\/a> touring production of Waitress, a Broadway show with music and lyrics by Bareilles and a book by Jessie Nelson. Waitress runs from October 21-23, also at Bass Concert Hall.<\/p>\n

The Good Grief Tour announcement is highly coordinated, setting a preorder<\/a> date of August 28 for Bareilles’ seventh album, Good Grief, and debuting the album’s first single, “Home.”<\/a> The documentary will also make its world premiere<\/a> at the Tribeca Festival on Thursday, June 4. Viewers will get to see the process that brought the album to life as Bareilles returned to the studio for the first time in seven years, since recording the Grammy-winning album Amidst the Chaos.<\/p>\n

Good Grief, which Bareilles produced herself, features work by Charley Drayton, Butterfly Boucher, Misty Boyce, Solomon Dorsey and Rob Moose in the band, and includes collaborations with Brandi Carlile, Andrea Gibson, Ingrid Michaelson, Joe Tippett and Megan Falley. “Hope” was inspired by an interview between Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper, making this an especially communal effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis whole collection of songs felt like transmissions rather than a deliberate attempt to make sense of the world,\u201d said Bareilles in a press release. \u201cMy deepest hope is that Good Grief provides some kind of comfort or catharsis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets sales<\/a> will open with artist, Verizon, and CITI pre-sales on Monday, June 8. General sales start Wednesday, June 10, at 10 am. One dollar from each ticket will go to mental health organization the Jed Foundation via Plus One and Live Nation. All net proceeds from VIP upgrades will go to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).<\/p>\n
