Sarah Harmer - oh little fire

Sarah Harmer - oh little fireIt’s been five years since her last album, but Sarah hasn’t been at all idle. The Juno-winning artist has been busy fighting to save Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment from development. Sarah’s fifth album features urgent, peppy songs like “Captive” and “The City” that owe more to her rock roots in the band Weeping Tile than her recent country-tinged recordings. As always, the Burlington-born activist’s greatest strengths are her evocative lyrics and a voice as pure as the rural wilderness she so deeply cherishes.
