Sarah McLachlan
Sarah McLachlan, one of the most gifted and acclaimed singer-songwriters of her generation, first performed on stage at etown in 1994 when she was just making a name for herself. To date Sarah has sold more than 26 million records worldwide, founded the popular Lilith Fair touring festival and received numerous awards, including three Grammy Awards and eight Juno awards in her native Canada. Her new release, Closer: The Best Of Sarah McLachlan, celebrates the 20th anniversary of her multi-platinum recording career. The artist’s first career anthology, Closer contains thirteen classic tracks personally selected by Sarah McLachlan from her award-winning catalog, as well as two newly recorded and previously unreleased songs, “You Want Me” and “Don’t Give Up.” The new collection arrives two decades after the release of Touch, the 1988 debut album that paved the way for Sarah’s award-winning superstar career.
Lilith Fair brought together two million people over its three-year history (1997-1999) and raised more than $7 million for charities. In 2003, the singer founded the Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach Program for the purpose of providing free music education classes to inner city youths whose school music programs have been reduced or abolished by budget cuts.
