Sarah McLachlan
b. 28 January 1968, Bedford, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan has featured on the Canadian folk scene since she was a 20-year-old, and through a series of well-received albums has blossomed into a well-rounded folk-rock artist and a confident live performer. 1994's FUMBLING TOWARDS ECSTASY was produced by Daniel Lanois' protégé Pierre Marchand and was inspired partly by a disturbing trip the singer undertook with the World Vision charity to Cambodia and Thailand. The album blends her pastoral and reflective mood with a high-tech production that gives her sound a sophisticated edginess. As on all her releases, her earthy voice is the perfect vehicle for her songs about the deeper, darker aspects of the human condition.
