“It’s part of the history of her as an artist, when she was just getting started and when she was really in those formative years.” Mosker said the exhibit also features a Grammy won by McLachlan in 1990 for her song I Will Remember You. “That, to me, is symbolic of Sarah’s international influence as a Canadian artist.”

As Surfacing turns 20 this year, some articles popped up with stories/memories of making the album & recording it.

Sarah McLachlan will never forget how sick she was of hearing the hit songs off her 1997 smash album “Surfacing” — and that was before it was even released.

The Halifax-born singer’s record — which was loaded with hits including “Building a Mystery,” “Sweet Surrender,” “Adia” and “Angel” — was at the centre of a cultural movement, released as her touring Lilith Fair music festival found its footing 20 years ago.

Yet McLachlan couldn’t shake the resentment she felt towards the music.

“We’d been recording and mixing, fine tuning and beating them to death,” she remembers.

“By the time the album was done I was really like, ‘Ugh, I don’t even want to hear any of these songs again.'”

‘Wonderland’ is nominated for a Juno Award in the category of ‘Adult Contemporary Album of the Year’!

Sarah McLachlan is one of the most celebrated singer songwriters in entertainment with over 40 million albums sold worldwide. She is a ten-time JUNO Award winner and a three-time Grammy Award winner. McLachlan’s landmark fifth album, the 10x-platinum Surfacing, contained two Grammy Award-winning tracks, “Building a Mystery” and “Last Dance.”

In addition to her personal artistic efforts, she founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians and raised over $7 million for local and national charities. In 2002 McLachlan founded her non-profit organization, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides top quality music instruction at no cost, in a safe and nurturing environment, for at-risk and underserved children and youth. From an early age, music provided McLachlan with the tools she needed to navigate the challenges she faced in her life, so she recognizes how important it is for every child to have those same opportunities.

McLachlan’s latest release is her new 2016 Christmas album Wonderland. Wonderland contains fresh and inspired interpretations of 13 traditional and contemporary holiday classics.
