About Sarah McLachlan

The Lilith co-founder and multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter is back with her just released first album of brand new material in seven years entitled Laws Of Illusion. The album entered the Billboard Top 200 chart at #3 and garnered rave reviews. USA Today noted: "Some of her most buoyant and beautifully crafted songs ever. Candid and thoughtful, Laws Of Illusion, finds her tackling heartache head-on and leaves no doubt that she wants to find love again -- and will." Sarah has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and is the recipient of three Grammy Awards. After an 11-year hiatus, Sarah and her partners decided the time was right to celebrate women in music once again.
