Sara Bareilles has kept a fairly low profile as a performing and recording artist since prior to the pandemic, but the drought on those fronts will come to an end as she releases the album “Good Grief” on Aug. 28, to be followed by a tour of North American theaters in September and October.

“Good Grief” is Bareilles’ first studio album since 2019’s “Amidst the Chaos,” and it will have been that long since her last official road trip when she tours theaters like New York’s Radio City Music Hall and L.A.’s Kodak Theatre in the early fall.
