Sarah Ann McLachlanOCOBC (born January 28, 1968) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. As of 2015, she had sold over 40 million albums worldwide.[2] McLachlan's best-selling album to date is Surfacing (1997), for which she won two Grammy Awards (out of four nominations) and four Juno Awards. In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians.
Early and personal life
McLachlan was born on January 28, 1968, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.[3] She was placed with the McLachlan family, which later legally adopted her. As a child, she was a member of Girl Guides of Canada, participating in Guiding programs.[4]
McLachlan played music from a very young age, beginning with the ukulele when she was four. She studied classical guitar, classical piano, and voice[5] at the Maritime Conservatory of Music[6] through the curriculum of The Royal Conservatory of Music.[7][8] At 17, while she was still a student at Queen Elizabeth High School, in Halifax, she fronted a short-lived rock band called the October Game, whose members also included drummer Creighton Doane.[9] One of the band's songs, "Grind", credited as a group composition, can be found on the independent Flamingo Records release Out of the Fog and the CD Out of the Fog Too. It has yet to be released elsewhere.
Following the October Game's first concert at Dalhousie University opening for Moev, McLachlan was offered a recording contract with Vancouver-based independent record label Nettwerk by Moev's Mark Jowett. McLachlan's parents insisted that she finish high school and complete one year of studies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design before moving to Vancouver and embarking on a new life as a recording artist. She finally signed to Nettwerk two years later before having written a single song. When she was 19, a mutual acquaintance introduced her to her birth mother. McLachlan did not seek her out and was ambivalent about meeting her.[6]
In 1994, McLachlan was sued by Uwe Vandrei, an obsessed fan from Ottawa, who alleged that his letters to her had been the basis of the single "Possession".[10] The lawsuit was also challenging for the Canadian legal system since Vandrei was an admitted stalker whose acknowledged goal in filing the lawsuit was to be near McLachlan. Precautions were taken to ensure McLachlan's safety if she had to be in the same location as Vandrei. Before the trial began, Vandrei was found dead in an apparent suicide.[11] Vandrei's preoccupation with McLachlan was explored at length in Canadian author Judith Fitzgerald's book, Building a Mystery: The Story of Sarah McLachlan & Lilith Fair.[12]
McLachlan married her drummer, Ashwin Sood, in Jamaica in 1997. In December 2001, while McLachlan was pregnant with her first child, her mother died from cancer. McLachlan gave birth to her daughter, India, in Vancouver on April 6, 2002. Five years later, she gave birth to her second daughter Taja, also in Vancouver, on June 22. McLachlan announced her separation from Sood in September 2008[13] and they divorced the same year.[14]
The signing with Nettwerk prompted McLachlan to move to Vancouver, British Columbia. There she recorded her first album, Touch, in 1987, which received both critical and commercial success and included the song "Vox". During this period she also contributed to an album by Moev, provided vocals on Manufacture's "As the End Draws Near", and embarked on her first national concert tour as an opening act for the Grapes of Wrath.[16][17]
McLachlan's 1991 album, Solace, was her mainstream breakthrough in Canada, spawning the hit singles "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "Into the Fire". Solace also marked the beginning of her partnership with Pierre Marchand. Marchand and McLachlan have been collaborators ever since, with Marchand producing many of McLachlan's albums and occasionally co-writing songs.[18]
1993–2002: Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Surfacing, and Mirrorball
1993's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was an immediate hit in Canada.[3] From her Nettwerk connection, her piano version of the song "Possession" was included on the first Due Southsoundtrack in 1996. Over the next two years, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy became McLachlan's international breakthrough as well, scaling the charts in a number of countries.[19]
Still in the spotlight from the album, McLachlan launched the highly popular Lilith Fair tour. Her song "Angel"—inspired by the fatal overdose of Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin[20][21]—made sales skyrocket. Fellow adoptee Darryl McDaniels was so touched by "Angel" that it inspired him to reassess his life and career. He credits McLachlan and her album Surfacing (on which "Angel" appeared) with saving his life;[22] the two have collaborated on many projects in support of the rights of adoptees.[23] In 1998, "Angel" featured in the motion picture City of Angels. Its soundtrack reached number one on the Billboard 200. More than five months after the film disappeared from the theatres, the soundtrack remained firmly entrenched among Billboard's top 40 albums and earned quadruple-platinum status.[24] Another song from Surfacing, "Full of Grace", featured in the Season 2 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Season 1 episode 4 of Dawson's Creek; and the film Moll Flanders.
Following the death of her mother in December 2001, and the birth of her first daughter India, Mclachlan took a break from writing music, and shifted her focus to motherhood.[27]
2003–2006: Afterglow and Wintersong
McLachlan released her fifth studio album, Afterglow, in November 2003. The album was preceded by the single "Fallen" in September, while two of its tracks, "Stupid" and "World on Fire", were released as supporting singles the following year. McLachlan had contemplated the prospect of losing career momentum during the album's creation and has described its writing process as similar to "extracting blood from a stone". All songs for the album were written over a two and a half year period and recorded at either Marchand's home studio in Montreal or McLachlan's home studio in Vancouver.[27]Afterglow topped the Canadian Albums Chart, and debuted at No. 2 in the US with over 300,000 copies sold in its opening week.[28] It has since been certified 5× platinum in Canada,[29] and 2× platinum in the US.[30] "Fallen" was later nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards,[31] while Afterglow received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards.[32]
Prior to embarking on the Afterglow Live tour in May 2004, McLachlan released the digital extended playAcoustic Live, which included renditions of two songs from Afterglow,[33] and rerecorded "World on Fire" with Robbie Robertson for the TNT series Into the West. The tour took place through 2005. Afterglow Live, a CD+DVD recording package of one of the Canada stops was released in November 2004.[34]
In October 2006, McLachlan released a Christmas album, Wintersong. The album included 11 new recordings, featuring covers of Joni Mitchell's "River", Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night", and John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", which she recorded with her outreach children and youth choir, and seasonal favourites: "Christmas Time Is Here", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Silent Night", "The First Noel", and "Greensleeves (What Child Is This?)", among others. The title track is an original work of McLachlan's. Wintersong debuted at No. 42 on the Billboard 200 for the week ending November 4, 2006,[35] and peaked at No. 7.[36] It was certified Platinum in the US in December 2007.[37] According to Nielsen Music, the album has sold 1.1 million copies in the country as of November 2016.[38] In Canada, it is certified 3× Platinum.[39]Wintersong was nominated for both a Grammy Award, in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category,[40] as well as for a Juno Award, for Pop Album of the Year.[41]
On October 3, 2006, the live album Mirrorball was re-released as Mirrorball: The Complete Concert. This release contains two discs that were compiled from two concerts performed on consecutive nights in April 1998 at the Rose Garden arena in Portland, Oregon.[42]
2014–2015: Shine On
In late January 2014, McLachlan announced the release of her next studio album, Shine On, which was inspired by the death of her father. It was her first release on Verve Records, after leaving Nettwerk/Arista after over twenty years.[43] Released on May 6, the album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 42,000 copies sold during the week ending May 11.[44] She embarked on the Shine On tour across the United States in support of the album. Its opening show took place in Seattle on June 20.[45] The tour visited 30 cities all together. The Canadian leg included 25 shows in 21 cities.[46]
After this release, McLachlan mostly stepped back from public life to focus on motherhood and philanthropic work.[49]
2016–present: Wonderland
On October 21, 2016, McLachlan released Wonderland, her ninth studio and second Christmas album;[38] it contains interpretations of 13 traditional and contemporary holiday classics. She promoted the album with various televised performances, including at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 24; ABC's CMA Country Christmas special on November 28;[50] and NBC's annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special on November 30.[51] That December, McLachlan released the single "The Long Goodbye".[52]
In January 2019, McLachlan was announced as the host of the Juno Awards of 2019.[53] In an interview the following month, McLachlan stated that she was set to debut a new song titled "Wilderness" during her then-current tour.[54]
McLachlan participated in an all-star recording of Serena Ryder's 2012 song "What I Wouldn't Do" in 2023. It was released as a charity single on March 2 to benefit the Feel Out Loud campaign by Kids Help Phone in support of youth mental health.[55] At the end of the year, she announced a 30-city tour to be held in 2024 for the 30th anniversary of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993), with the setlist comprising the album's entire tracklist in addition to other songs from her repertoire.[56][57]
In April 2024, McLachlan stated she was working on new music with producer Tony Berg.[58]
In 1996, McLachlan became frustrated with concert promoters and radio stations that refused to feature two female musicians in a row.[59] Bucking conventional industry wisdom, she booked a successful tour for herself and Paula Cole. At least one of their appearances together – in McLachlan's home town, on September 14, 1996 – went by the name "Lilith Fair" and included performances by McLachlan, Cole, Lisa Loeb, and Michelle McAdorey, formerly of Crash Vegas.[60][61][62]
The next year, McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, taking Lilith from the medieval Jewish legend that Lilith was Adam's first wife.[63]
In 1997, Lilith Fair, featuring McLachlan as one of the headlining acts, garnered a $16 million gross, making it the top-grossing of any touring festival.[59] Among all concert tours for that year, it was the 16th highest grossing.[59]Lilith Fair tour brought together two million people over its three-year history and raised more than $7 million for charities. It was the most successful all-female music festival in history, one of the biggest music festivals of the 1990s, and helped launch the careers of several well-known female artists.[64][65] Subsequent Lilith Fairs followed in 1998 and 1999 before the tour was discontinued.[66]
Nettwerk CEO and Lilith Fair co-founder Terry McBride announced that the all-female festival would make its return in mid-2010 in Canada, the United States, and Europe. A list of 36 North American shows was released,[67] but poor ticket sales, financial problems, and headliners' withdrawing out of fear of not being paid, caused 13 of the shows to be cancelled.[68] The two-week European tour never materialized.
Additional projects and guest appearances
In 1997, McLachlan co-wrote and provided guest vocals on the Delerium song "Silence" for their album Karma. The song achieved significant US top 40 airplay when released as a single in late 2000, and also featured on the soundtrack for the movie Brokedown Palace. It has been hailed as one of the greatest trance songs of all time, over a decade after its initial release.[69] The Tiësto remix of the song was voted by Mixmag readers as the 12th greatest dance record of all time.[70]
In 2001, McLachlan provided background vocals, guitar, and piano on the closing track "Love Is" from Stevie Nicks' eighth solo album, Trouble in Shangri-La, in addition to drawing the dragon used for the "S" in Stevie's name on the album cover.[71][72] In May 2002, her duet with Bryan Adams, "Don't Let Go", was released on the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron soundtrack.[73] She sang harmonies and played the piano on the song while Sood did the drum work.[74]
In 2009, McLachlan provided backing vocals and piano on Susan Enan's song "Bring on the Wonder", which was featured in the television showBones. Enan and McLachlan included the song on their Plainsong and Laws of Illusion (2010) albums respectively.[79][80]
McLachlan has been nominated for 26 Juno Awards and has won twelve. In 1992, her video for "Into the Fire" was selected as best music video. In 1998, she won Female Vocalist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year (along with Pierre Marchand), Single of the Year for "Building a Mystery", and Album of the Year for Surfacing. In 2000, she won an International Achievement award and in 2004, won Pop Album of the Year for Afterglow and again shared the Songwriter of the Year award with Pierre Marchand for the singles "Fallen", "World on Fire", and "Stupid". In 2009 she was presented with the Humanitarian Award and she won the Adult Contemporary Album of the year award in 2015 for "Shine On" and again in 2017 for "Wonderland".[84]
McLachlan's song "Building a Mystery" came in at 91 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s.[85]
McLachlan was awarded the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Visionary Award in 1998 for advancing the careers of women in music. In 1999, she was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada by then-Governor GeneralAdrienne Clarkson in recognition of her successful recording career, her role in Lilith Fair, and the charitable donations she made to women's shelters across Canada. In 2001, she was inducted to the Order of British Columbia.
Kiwanis International presented McLachlan with the 2013 Kiwanis International World Service Medal to recognize her for founding the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, a free music school for at-risk youth in Vancouver, British Columbia.[87]
On November 20, 2013, McLachlan was recognized with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Alberta.[88][89]
On April 2, 2017, at the Juno Awards ceremony, McLachlan was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
In June 2018, McLachlan was awarded the Global Inspiration award at the 2018 SOCAN Awards "for her contributions to the music industry, for her profound impact on music education for Canadian youth through her School of Music, as well as for her acclaim as a songwriter in a career that's spanned 30 years".[91]
On September 17, 2024 Canada Post released stamp honoring McLachlan.[93]
Philanthropy
Sarah McLachlan School of Music
McLachlan also funds an outreach program in Vancouver that provides music education for inner city children. In 2007, the provincial government announced $500,000 in funding for the outreach program.[94] Originating at the "Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach", this program evolved into the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. This program provided children with high quality music instruction in guitar, piano, percussion and choir.[95][better source needed]
In 2011 McLachlan opened the Sarah McLachlan School of Music in Vancouver, a free music school for at-risk youth. The School of Music provides group and private lessons to hundreds of young people every year. It is their goal that through music education, students will develop a love of the arts and have greater self-esteem.[96][better source needed]
On May 25, 2016, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music expanded to Edmonton, Alberta, opening in Rundle Elementary School and Eastglen High School. The music school contains the same initiative as the Vancouver school.[97]
ASPCA
McLachlan supported the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals by appearing in advertisements. She filmed a two-minute advertisement for the organization which featured her song "Angel".[98] The advertisement's imagery of shelter animals mixed with the soundtrack and McLachlan's simple appeal for donations has raised $30 million for the ASPCA since it began to air in 2006, which allowed the organization to air appeals in higher profile prime-time cable ad slots; subsequently the organization produced a new ad for the 2008 holiday season featuring McLachlan appealing for the ASPCA over her Wintersong performance of "Silent Night", and a new ad with her was released in January 2009 featuring the song "Answer".[98] In 2012, McLachlan wrote a letter on behalf of PETA to then-Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, protesting that country's annual seal hunt.[99] During Super Bowl XLVIII on February 3, 2014, McLachlan parodied her ASPCA appeals in an Audi commercial featuring a "Doberhuahua" dog gnawing on the neck of her guitar.[100] She would also do another parody of these appeals on Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023, this time for a commercial for Busch Light.[101]
In early 2005, McLachlan took part in a star-studded tsunami disaster relief telethon on NBC. On January 29 McLachlan was a headliner for a benefit concert in Vancouver along with other Canadian superstars such as Avril Lavigne and Bryan Adams. The show also featured a performance by the Sarah McLachlan Musical Outreach Choir & Percussion Ensemble, a children's choir and percussion band from the aforementioned Vancouver outreach program. Entitled One World: The Concert for Tsunami Relief, the concert raised approximately $3.6 million for several Canadian aid agencies working in south and southeast Asia.
On July 2, 2005, McLachlan participated in the Philadelphia installment of the Live 8 concerts, where she performed her hit "Angel" with Josh Groban.[103] These concerts were intended to coincide with the G8 summit to put pressure on the leaders of the world's richest nations to fight poverty in Africa by cancelling debt.
In 2008, she donated a song to Aid Still Required's CD to assist with the restoration of the devastation done to Southeast Asia from the 2004 tsunami.[104]
