Sarah Mclachlan

Sarah McLachlan’s intimate, lush singer/songwriter fare—forged in alt-rock drama—renders personal moments and inner emotional landscapes with cinematic grandeur.

Born in 1968 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, McLachlan was offered a record deal while still in school, but turned it down to focus on her studies.

After rethinking things, however, she headed to Vancouver and eventually released her atmospheric, folky debut record, 1988’s Touch.
