Multi-platinum Canadian musician, singer and songwriter Sarah McLachlan, will be returning to play for her many Australian fans after 10 years away. The award-winning musician will reconnect with Australian fans through shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in February 2015.
It will have 10 years since McLachlan performed her 2005 Afterglow Tour to her dedicated Australian fans and this time around the seasoned performer will showcase material from her latest album Shine On alongside fan favourites, in a series of intimate performances as part of the Australian Shine On Tour.
“I love making records, but I like playing live even better. You’ve got the song, you know it’s great, and you get to take it some place else. You get to experiment and be in the moment with it. That’s everything to me,” says McLachlan.
With more than 25 years in the music industry, having released her debut album Touch in 1988, Sarah McLachlan is one of the most celebrated and respected female performers of all time, having sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and receiving three Grammy Awards.
In 1997 McLachlan’s landmark 10x-platinum album Surfacing was released and contained two Grammy winning tracks, Building a Mystery and Last Dance. On top of her musical achievements, McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, showcasing female musicians and raising more than $7 million for local and national charities.
She also started the non-profit Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides free after-school music education for at-risk and underserved kids who otherwise would have no access to music programming.
Her latest album, Shine On, features a collection of eleven new songs recorded in Montreal, Vancouver and Los Angeles with Sarah’s long-time collaborator and producer Pierre Marchand, as well as Bob Rock and Vincent Jones.
