EXPAND FULL BIO

Sarah’s landmark fifth album, the 10X-platinum Surfacing (1997), contained two Grammy Award-winning tracks: Building a Mystery won for Best Female Pop Vocal and Last Dance was voted Best Pop Instrumental. In 1998, the soundtrack of the Wim Wenders film City of Angels reached Number One on the Billboard chart. Featuring the Sarah McLachlan track Angel, the City of Angels soundtrack achieved 4X platinum sales status.
The 1999 Lilith Fair tour gave rise to Sarah’s 4X-platinum album Mirrorball and its platinum long-form video counterpart. I Will Remember You, a track from Mirrorball, earned Sarah her third career Grammy Award, for Best Female Pop Vocal (1999).
It was Lilith Fair that catapulted me into a different stratosphere as far as the media frenzy and public knowledge.

Afterglow, released in 2003, reached 2X-platinum status and received two Grammy Award nomina  tions: Best Pop Vocal Album and (for the opening track Fallen ) Best Female Pop Vocal.

In October 2006, Sarah released Wintersong, her first album of holiday-themed songs. Among the highlights of this twelve-song set: Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Song For A Winter’s Night by Gordon Lightfoot, River by Joni Mitchell, and the all-time seasonal favorites I’ll Be Home For Christmas and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Pierre Marchand, the platinum-selling Wintersong reached No. 7 on the Billboard chart. The disc was nominated for both a Grammy Award (for Best Tradi  tional Pop Vocal Album) and a Juno Award (for Pop Album of the Year).

On October 7, 2008, the artist, celebrated the 20th anniversary of her multi-platinum record  ing career with the release of Closer: The Best Of Sarah McLachlan. For her first career anthology, Closer Sarah personally selected thirteen classic tracks from her award-winning catalog and also included two newly recorded and previ  ously unreleased songs, You Want Me and Don’t Give Up.
