Editor's review
To hear McLachlan on her 1998 "Surfacing" tour is to hear what it means for an artist to connect to her audience. Tracks like crisp confection "Building a Mystery" send the "Dawson's Creek"-addicted audience into sheer rapture, and Sarah coolly tries on Joni's shoes.
Biography
Sarah McLachlan has emerged as one of Canada's leading recording artists and a major force in the North American music industry.
McLachlan has released five albums with Arista Records, beginning in 1988 with Touch, followed by Solace (1991), Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1994), The Freedom Sessions (1994) and Surfacing (1997).
Surfacing has sold six million copies (six times platinum status) in the U.S. and achieved "Diamond" status in Canada for selling more than one million copies. Surfacing also won McLachlan two Grammy Awards, four Juno Awards and many other distinctions.
McLachlan also conceived and launched the much-heralded Lilith Fair tour, a multi-artist bill showcasing the talents of women performers from around the world. Lilith Fair was the number one most successful multi-artist tour in North America and concluded its second year in operation by playing in 52 cities in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., grossing over $28 million U.S. In the process, Lilith donated over $2 million dollars to local and national charities. Lilith Fair 1999 will embark on its third and possibly final year on July 8th in Vancouver and will play 40 shows in 33 cities, concluding on August 31st in Edmonton.
Over her 10-year career, McLachlan has received numerous entertainment and achievement distinctions, including the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Visionary Award, for advancing the careers of women in music. The award, presented by New York Governor George E. Pataki, recognizes her work with Lilith Fair, which gives both established and aspiring women artists a chance to showcase their talents to a broad audience.
Mirrorball was recorded over 35 shows during McLachlan's 1998 Spring tour in support of Surfacing. Mirrorball captures a period of time in the evolution of Sarah's musical career and includes such hit singles as "Angel," "Building a Mystery," "Adia," "Possession" and the first single "I Will Remember You."
