“I played hundreds of shows all over Los Angeles for years, starting with open mics and tiny clubs. As I evolved as an artist, I always wondered if I would ever earn my place onto the Hollywood Bowl marquee. When it finally happened, it was an extraordinary honor and one I knew I would want to remember forever.”

 

Amidst the Chaos: Live at the Hollywood Bowl was recorded in November 2019 during her 28-city Amidst the Chaos tour. Guests on the upcoming album include T Bone Burnett, Emily King and The Milk Carton Kids as well as the Amidst the Chaos band including Charley Drayton, Solomon Dorsey, Rich Hinman, Butterfly Boucher, Misty Boyce, Maria Im and Melody Giron. 

 

“I had no way of knowing when we ended the Amidst the Chaos tour that those would be my last live shows for the next year and a half. Revisiting the time spent with my fans and the audience takes on an even deeper meaning in the context of this time away from live performance. I am so grateful we have this time capsule to celebrate what is now on the horizon again. A return to live music,” said Sara.
