Sarah McLachlan

Grammy Songstress Sarah McLachlan Graces Austin

With six years between her critically acclaimed “Surfacing” and her most recent effort “Afterglow,” Sarah McLachlan emerges with revamped songwriting techniques and a fresh outlook on life. Not a single song on “Afterglow” was written on a guitar, a move that promises to leave listeners in a rich and haunting euphoria. Parenthood has also changed McLachlan’s writing process – the mother of young daughter India says she has about two hours a day to focus on songwriting, a major change to McLachlan’s near-hibernation when writing the tracks on “Surfacing.”

In addition to her own success, McLachlan is the driving force behind the girl-powered Lilith Fair. In just three years, Lilith Fair, which included Austin favorites such as Patty Griffin, Trish Murphy and Kelly Willis, raised more than $7 million for charities.
