Canadian singer Alessia Cara rolls into San Francisco’s Masonic auditorium tonight, supporting her debut album, Know it All.
The 20-year-old is, perhaps, best known for her current single from the album, “Scars to Your Beautiful,” and “Here,” her breakout viral video. “Scars” charted at number 46 on Billboard’s U.S. Hot 100, and 18 on the publication’s U.S. Mainstream Top 40.
Eschewing the usual pop glitz and glamor, Cara relies on her powerful and soulful voice, and a sort of anti-glamor, accept-yourself-for-who-you-are theme.
This is her second trip to the Bay Area this year. She performed at the Fillmore Auditorium back in February, a show attended and reviewed by Courier staff reporter Jannet Rodriguez, using tickets supplied by the show’s promoter, who wrote: “Alessia Cara is taking over, and she is spreading such good messages about self acceptance. I would definitely recommend you attend one of her shows on her second leg of the Know-It-All tour.”
Excellent tickets are still available. Sets by Ruth B and Nathan Sykes will precede Cara’s performance.
