Just raw and purely emotional performances and some well-timed jaunty tunes to get you back into happy-go-lucky, concert mode. No store-bought sounds, lip synching or lamely choreographed dance routines should be expected here. Final words: Sara takes a personal interest in her music and in her fans. It'll be her first concert and we have no doubt that she'll enjoy it just as much as she does Sara's albums. This time around, since it's an outdoor show, we're taking our 3 year-old daughter because even she loves Sara. We're seeing her again next week and, to be perfectly honest, we'd see her every single day of her tour if we could. With each concert she encompasses sheer brilliance in her song writing, charm, and live delivery of every song performed. I've seen Sara more than a handful of times. She said so." The only thing missing from this concert was Sara attempting to crowd-surf. One that says "I love (heart shape) Sara F*cking Bareilles" and the other says "Sara Bareilles is my Bestie. She takes time to chit-chat with the crowd but not so much that it would bother someone purely going to hear her music. Sara has a way of engaging the crowd from her very first word straight through to the last word. I dare say that it was even better than Elton John's original version. The whole audience participated in singing along with Brave, I Just Want You brought tears to the eyes of a completely awestruck crowd and her encore of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was nothing short of mind-blowing. To my and my (then) fiance`s delight, Sara performed a completely acoustic setlist, including some old favorites and some newer things that she hadn't released yet. She nailed every one of her original songs, in addition to a couple of Elton John's hits as well as an Ottis Redding classic. And, most importantly, it's her dynamite set of vocals. It's the way she tells "her story" through music. But it's not the instruments that make Sara so loveable and enjoyable. Over the course of the night, she played the piano, ukulele, guitar, harmonium and, quite frankly, whatever else she felt like using as an instrument. She explained that it was a solo tour and that no one else would be accompanying her on stage. Expecting the usual guitars, drums, pianos, etc., I was surprised to see no one else on the stage but Sara. I decided to spring for a pair of concert tickets to see a pretty, young, snarky brunette belt out some sing-a-long style tunes. Sara Bareilles played the Union Transfer on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. The best "review" I could give Sara Bareilles is by way of taking you through one of her concerts - which is hands-down the best concert experience I have ever had in my 33 years of enjoying live music. Bluesy, folky, "pop" singer, Sara Bareilles is definitely MUCH more than just a pretty face with inspirational music. in fact, sometimes you get much more than you anticipated. Have so much fun.What you see is NOT always what you get. Congrats to my dear UCLA Bruins, and enjoy this extraordinary night. Sara's most recent record, Amidst the Chaos: Live from the Hollywood Bowl, is out May 21, and captured Sara's ultimate dream to get to headline the Hollywood Bowl for the first time.īut she says, "It all started at Spring Sing. She is currently starring in a new musical comedy on Peacock, executive produced by Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond called Girls 5 Eva. She has written a New York Times best selling book, called Sounds Like Me, and the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musical, Waitress. Sara has gone on to become a Grammy winning, Multi-Platinum selling recording artist, and a Tony and Emmy nominated composer and performer. To this day I don't think I have ever been as nervous as I was taking the stage at Spring Sing the first time, OR as exhilarated. For me personally, the goal of getting to participate in Spring Sing as a company member, a solo act, or in my a cappella group were highlights of my UCLA years, and inspired me to dig in and pursue my dreams of being an artist.
"The community of friends and fans that I was exposed to through UCLA became the support system I needed to plant my roots as a songwriter and take the risks I needed to take to perform live and find my voice as an artist. Sara Bareilles is a proud UCLA alumna and quotes her time at Spring Sing in 2000, 2002, and 2003 to be some of the most impactful experiences for her as a young artist.
