Sarah Harmer
VENUE: Burlington Performing Arts Centre, 440 Locust Street, Burlington, Ontario L7S 1T7 Canada
Sarah Harmer is a multiple award-winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter and environmental activist.
A deeply personal and political collection of songs motivated by the beauty of life, the urgency of the climate crisis, and the question of loss, Sarah called the album a spiritual successor of sorts to her acclaimed 2000 debut. Its simple title, Are You Gone, is a meditation on presence and a bookend to the questions posed on You Were Here – a sharpened, more electric confrontation with the realities of nature and human nature.
Between co-founding the citizen’s organization PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Land) and leading the successful effort to prevent an open-pit gravel mine in a UNESCO World Biosphere
Reserve on the Niagara Escarpment, Sarah has become a fixture in local politics and advocacy.
In 2022, Sarah helped launch the Reform Gravel Mining Coalition in her home province of Ontario to protect water, farmland, and biodiversity. She is currently writing songs for a new album.
