Sara Bareilles leads charge to save NYC's Rockwood Music Hall

NEW YORK — Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles will play a pair of Friday shows at Rockwood Music Hall in attempt to keep the struggling Lower East Side club open.

She’s also supporting a GoFundMe campaign aiming to raise $250,000 for the 18-year-old venue that helped launch her career.

“In 2007, I played one of the first shows of my career at Rockwood Music Hall on the Lower East Side, a venue that then and now represents the grit and determination of New York’s aspiring musical community,” she wrote in that petition. “At that point, I had only ever played ONE show in New York.”
