WAITRESS Songwriter Sara Bareilles Continues BAM's 2015 UNBOUND Lineup Tonight

Tonight, October 6, Sara Bareilles and Ben Folds will fete the launch of Bareilles new book, SOUNDS LIKE ME: MY LIFE (SO FAR) IN SONG, a candid collection of essays in which the five-time Grammy-nominated artist explores her life in song, as part of BAM's 2015 UMBOUND lineup.

Sharing her creative process as well as revealing both the joy and struggle that come with creating great work while staying true to yourself, Bareilles reveals the wisdom, vulnerability, and wit behind the chart-topping artist. The evening will include a performance and book signing by Bareilles.

The series launched on September 24 with Elizabeth Gilbert, who celebrated the release of her new book, BIG MAGIC: CREATIVE LIVING BEYOND FEAR. Up next was theatre director and translator Bryan Doerries on September 27, marking the launch of THE THEATER OF WAR: WHAT ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDIES CAN TEACH US TODAY.

Coming Up:

October 27 sees Gloria Steinem, writer, activist, organizer, and one of the most inspiring leaders in the world, celebrating the release of her funny, moving, and profound new book, MY LIFE ON THE ROAD, a candid account of how her early years led her to live an on-the-road kind of life: traveling, listening to people, learning, and creating change. Steinem will relate the story of her own growth in tandem with the growth of an ongoing movement for equality -- demonstrating how maintaining an open, observing, on-the-road state of mind can make an active difference in the way we understand others, our times, and ourselves.

And finally, Elvis Costello celebrates the launch of his idiosyncratic new memoir, UNFAITHFUL MUSIC & DISAPPEARING INK, on November 10. Offering his unique view of his unlikely rise to success, from playing a cardboard guitar in his living room to fronting a rock 'n' roll band and performing in the world's greatest concert halls, the book is written entirely by Costello himself and spans the course of his nearly four-decade career. the book contains many stories and observations about the London-born singer-songwriter's renowned co-writers and co-conspirators, while also pausing along the way for considerations on the less appealing side of infamy.
