Sarah did an interview with EDGE Radio yesterday, talking about her shows with Josh and the Christmas album. Apparently we’re not getting original songs, but classic and older Christmas songs! You can listen to it here:

Here’s the related article!

EDGE Radio: So, you obviously have a lot going on with the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, and school for your daughter, how do you find the balance between writing music, and all of that?

McLachlan: I have a lot of help. Any moment I have to steal away 15 minutes I do. I can get a lot done in 15 minutes. I try to go for a hike every morning, which is blissful, good for my soul, and good for my body. And, that’s when I write. I carry my phone with me and dictate lyrics to my phone. I must look like a crazy person walking out in nature talking into my phone.

Thanks to Karine and her sister – who attended the Jazz Festival show in Ottawa – we’ve got a live version of the new song ‘The Long Goodbye’. Listen to it below & enjoy! What do you think of the new song?

And girls – thanks again for recording, uploading & sharing!

As mentioned in this article, Sarah’s next Christmas album will be titled ‘Wonderland‘!

It’s a Christmas project, to be titled Wonderland, due for release next fall, that features Half Moon Run backing McLachlan on a selection of seasonal favourites. The whole experience seems to have energized her.

And I’ve got here a Q&A for you as well, where she talks about the upcoming jazz festivals and a new song:

CP: Your fans might be surprised you’re making the rounds at some of Canada’s big jazz festivals. If it’s not jazz you’ll be playing, what can they expect?

McLachlan: I am going to have a lean, mean four-piece (band). I think it’s a 90 minute set — or something like that — so I’m just going to be doing all the songs that I hope everybody wants to hear. I’ve got a new song (called “The Long Goodbye”), I might perform that.

Sarah did an interview on Roundhouse Radio 98.3, in which she talks about (among other) life, the Jazz festivals, and the Christmas album! Listen to it below (and download it here).
