Bio

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sarah was discovered by a Vancouver record company called Nettwerk Records. She arrived to the music scene in 1988 (ten years ago!) when she released her first album "Touch". The album went gold in Canada with the encouraging buzz of such tracks such as "Vox" and "Steaming".

In 1991, her second release, "Solace", had an even greater and stronger buzz as many people heard singles like "Drawn to the Rhythm".

When her third album, "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy", came out in 1994, the Canadian fans loved it as the album also made its way to the American ears with fire. Hits such as "Possession", "Ice Cream", and "Good Enough" (one of my favorites) gave Sarah huge success as the album sold millions of copies.

As 1997 rolled along, her fourth and latest album, "Surfacing", was released. Songs such as "Building a Mystery" and "Sweet Surrender" gave her even more success. Her single "Adia" currently sits in the top 5 singles in Billboard.

1997 also marks the debut of the Lilith Fair, a concert that celebrates women in music and is headlined by many of today's womens artist. The day long event, which was thought up by McLachlan, consists of many acts such as Natalie Merchant, Paula Cole, the Indigo Girls, and Sarah herself.
