How far Sara Bareilles has come since her 1st visit to the Corner Lounge in 2007, eh?! That day (before she opened for Maroon 5 at JPJ), she brought in her portable keyboard (don’t think she even brought a manager or label person with her!) & then she did a session on the baby grand at Virginia Arts studio in 2009 with an audience of Corner VIPs before her show at UVA Springfest that year (remember Grace Potter opening as a White Stripes-esque duo??). This time, the Grammy Album of the Year nominee (for her latest, The Blessed Unrest) gave us a few minutes on the phone before the gig at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion 7/12.
