Michelle Branch

Michelle Branch brings her Everywhere And Back Again Tour to San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre on Friday, October 2, 2026, for an evening celebrating 25 years of music, songwriting, and the songs that have shaped her career. Doors open at 7:00 pm, with the show beginning at 8:00 pm.

For local audiences, this event offers a chance to experience an artist whose music has crossed generations and genres. Branch first signed to Madonna’s Maverick Records at seventeen and rose to prominence with her acclaimed 2001 debut album, The Spirit Room. Featuring “Everywhere,” “All You Wanted,” and “Goodbye to You,” the album became a worldwide success, selling three million copies and earning certifications in numerous countries. Its success also helped establish Branch as part of a new generation of young women writing and performing their own songs.

Branch’s career continued with major milestones. Her 2002 collaboration with Carlos Santana, “The Game of Love,” won a Grammy Award and became a major international hit. Her 2003 album, Hotel Paper, debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard album chart and included “Are You Happy Now?,” which received a Grammy nomination. She also explored modern country with Jessica Harp as The Wreckers, whose album Stand Still, Look Pretty produced the chart-topping “Leave the Pieces,” along with fan favorites “My Oh My” and “Tennessee.”

Her later work, including Hopeless Romantic and The Trouble With Fever, reflects the continued evolution of her sound and songwriting. Now, Everywhere And Back Again looks back at the songs, stories, and cultural moments that have defined Branch’s journey while pointing toward new original music.

The Castro Theatre setting adds a distinctly local dimension to the evening. Another Planet Entertainment is encouraging attendees to support the businesses surrounding the historic LGBTQ+ landmark by coming early to eat, shop, and explore the Castro district. For fans of Michelle Branch, longtime listeners, and anyone interested in celebrating a significant chapter of contemporary pop and rock songwriting, this San Francisco performance offers both a look back and a glimpse toward what comes next.
