From Wiki: Sarah Harmer (born November 12, 1970) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and activist. Born and raised in Burlington, Ontario, Harmer gained her first exposure to the musician's lifestyle as a teenager, when her older sister Mary started taking her to Tragically Hip concerts. At the age of 17, she was invited to join a Toronto band, The Saddletramps. For three years, she juggled The Saddletramps with her studies in philosophy and women's studies at Queen's University.[2] After leaving The Saddletramps, Harmer put together a band of her own with several Kingston, Ontario musicians, and settled on the name Weeping Tile. The band released its first independent cassette in 1994. Soon afterward, they signed to a major label, and the cassette was re-released in 1995 as an EP. The band quickly became a popular draw on the rock club circuit and on campus radio with their subsequent albums, but never broke through to the mainstream, and broke up in 1998 after being dropped from their label.[2] Also in 1998, Harmer recorded a set of pop standards as a Christmas gift for her father. After hearing it, her friends and family convinced her to release it as an album, and in 1999 she released it independently as Songs for Clem. Harmer quickly began working on another album, and in 2000, she released You Were Here.[2] A poppier, more laid-back effort than her work with Weeping Tile, You Were Here became Harmer's mainstream breakthrough, spawning the hits "Basement Apartment" and "Don't Get Your Back Up". The album also appeared on many critics' year-end lists, including TIME magazine, which called it the year's best debut album. It was eventually certified platinum for sales of 100,000 copies in Canada. Almost half of the album (including both of its major hits) consisted of songs she had previously recorded with Weeping Tile or The Saddletramps. In 2004, she released All of Our Names. The album included the singles "Almost", which made the top 20 on Canadian pop charts, and "Pendulums". Her fourth album, I'm a Mountain, was released in Canada on November 8, 2005 and in the United States in February 2006. It was nominated for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize, a jury-selected $20,000 cash prize for the Canadian album of the year. Harmer has also appeared as a guest vocalist on albums by other artists, including Blue Rodeo, Great Big Sea, Rheostatics, Bruce Cockburn, Luther Wright and the Wrongs, Skydiggers, The Weakerthans, Neko Case, Great Lake Swimmers and Bob Wiseman. In February 2007, Harmer received three Juno Award nominations. I'm a Mountain was up for Best Adult Alternative Album and her DVD Escarpment Blues was up for Best Music DVD. Sarah herself was also up for Songwriter of the Year for her work on "I Am Aglow", "Oleander" and "Escarpment Blues". In 2010, Harmer released a fifth album, Oh Little Fire, which has been nominated for three Juno Awards. In 2011, Harmer participated in the National Parks Project, visiting British Columbia's Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site with Bry Webb, Jim Guthrie and filmmaker Scott Smith.[3] She was also commissioned by CBC Radio 2 to write an original campfire song for the network. Songs For Clem 1999  Songs for Clem is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter by Sarah Harmer, credited to Harmer and Jason Euringer, and released in 1999. The album was never originally intended by Harmer for widespread release, but as a 1998 Christmas gift for her father, Clem Harmer. It features Harmer's personal, home-recorded renditions of several of her father's favourite pop and country standards.[1] Upon hearing the recording, Harmer's friends and family convinced her to release it independently. She did so in 1999; following her commercial breakthrough in 2000 with You Were Here, the album was re-released under Harmer's new major label distribution deal with Universal Music Canada.[1] Clem Harmer subsequently appeared on Sarah's 2005 album I'm A Mountain, contributing backing vocals to two songs.[2] Allmusic music critic Johnny Lofthus wrote the album feels "lovingly handmade, with cover art right out of a child's Father's Day art project and an immediate, field-type recording quality that features accompaniment from crickets and a passing rainstorm. This isn't to say it's lo-fi; on the contrary, it's crystal clear." and that "... it's a true sentimental journey for people inspired by their parents to love music." Tracks: 1. "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (Bill Monroe) – 2:07 2. "Tennessee Waltz" (Redd Stewart, Pee Wee King) – 2:52 3. "Black Coffee" (Sonny Burke, Paul Francis Webster) – 2:53 4. "Stormy Weather" (Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler) – 3:00 5. "Oh Bury Me Not" (Traditional) – 1:25 6. "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" (Traditional) – 3:22 7. "Shine on Harvest Moon" (Jack Norworth, Nora Bayes) – 2:13 8. "Trouble in the Fields" (Nanci Griffith, Rick West) – 4:02 9. "Your Cheatin' Heart" (Hank Williams)– 2:32 10. "Summertime" (George Gershwin, DuBose Heyward, Ira Gershwin) – 3:45 11. "Sentimental Journey" (Les Brown, Ben Homer, Bud Green) – 2:44 12. "O, My Beloved Father" (Giacomo Puccini, Giovacchino Forzano) – 2:07 You Were Here 2000  You Were Here is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer, released in 2000. You Were Here was Harmer's commercial breakthrough in Canada after years of almost reaching the pop charts with Weeping Tile. Ironically, the album's first big hit, "Basement Apt.", had previously been a Weeping Tile song, appearing on that band's 1995 release eepee. Harmer also had a hit with "Don't Get Your Back Up", which she had previously recorded with The Saddletramps. Three other songs, "Weakened State", "Lodestar" and "Coffee Stain", had also been previously recorded by Weeping Tile, on 1998's This Great Black Night. Harmer stated "“I always had kind of high expectations for You Were Here, but I was holding onto it for as long as I could, to find a proper, appropriate home.”[1] She self-financed and self-released the album on her own Cold Snap Records label before it was licensed by Zoë Records and Universal Music Canada.[2] The album's title track is a tribute to her former Weeping Tile bandmate Joe Chithalen, who died in 1999. The album was warmly received. TIME ranked You Were Here in its year-end Top Ten list, calling it the year's best debut album. Harmer also appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 2, 2001, in an appearance in which stage manager Biff Henderson jumped in to sing impromptu backing vocals. She had originally been scheduled to appear the previous week, but was bumped when Rudy Giuliani's first post-9/11 appearance ran overtime.[6] You Were Here was named the 24th greatest Canadian album of all time in Bob Mersereau's 2007 book The Top 100 Canadian Albums.[citation needed] Music critic Lisa M. Smith, writing for Allmusic, praised the album, and wrote of Harmer that "it is certain that she is an artist choosing wisely from a great scope of colors. With a pleasing and misleading start, the rollicking opening track asserts its individuality with a Vaudevillian clarinet, keeping one foot in Kinks pop and one in some elusive species of country rock." She describes the album as one of a pleasing ebb and flow. "Songs may begin with a soft acoustic, then unfold assuredly toward their climax. Various instruments add character now and then, such as a muted trumpet or a harmonica, and the energy level can sway between a lullaby and full pop treatment with a definite destination… the album as a whole feels sincere, answering to a variety of moods and whims. It is a work of quality, from the songwriting clear to the production."[3] Rolling Stone gave the album 3.5 of 5 stars, stating it contained "Plainly hooky, tender-but-tough songs...Harmer lovingly chronicles the rough-and-tumble of real-life romance....a marvelously compelling meditation"[4] Q gave You Were Here 3 of 5 stars and called it "Lounge jazz, drum loops and lead guitar chops support a vocalist whose lyrical panache...marks her out from the crowd."[5] In an interview with No Depression, Paul Cantin called it "a welcome break from the Lilith school of flinchy girl singers. Her music is at once heartfelt and hardy, sensitive and sanguine." Tracks: 1. "Around This Corner" – 3:15 2. "Basement Apt." – 4:08 3. "The Hideout" – 4:01 4. "Capsized" – 3:57 5. "Lodestar" – 5:28 6. "Weakened State" – 2:53 7. "Don't Get Your Back Up" – 3:54 8. "Open Window (The Wedding Song)" – 4:09 9. "Uniform Grey" – 3:43 10. "Coffee Stain" – 2:56 11. "You Were Here" – 4:53 12. "Everytime" (Dave Hodge) – 3:12 All Of Our Names 2004  All of Our Names is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer, released in 2004. It peaked at number 6 on the Top Canadian Albums chart and number 43 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. "Almost" b/w "Pendulums" was released as a single with "Almost" reaching the top 20 on Canadian pop charts. The track "Silver Road", included on the soundtrack for the film Men with Brooms had been previously released as a single in 2003. The album was recorded using Digital Performer at Harmer's home. Drums and bass and guitars were recorded together using different rooms and the rest of the album was multi-tracked individually.[1] Guest musicians on the album include Howie Beck, Gavin Brown, Jim Bryson and Ian Thornley. Harmer plays a number of instruments on the album, including guitar, bass, and drums. It was released in the U.S. on Zoë Records. Music critic Johnny Lofthus, writing for Allmusic, praised the album, calling it "homey and gorgeous" and calling Harmer's voice "starkly beautiful." "There's fully formed adult alternative stuff here, from the robust head-nod lilt of 'Almost' to 'New Enemy's more stately melody... This immediacy helps sell All of Our Names, since music like this can be smothered by over-production."[2] Rolling Stone gave the album 3 of 5 stars, stating it is "suffused with a peaceful fatalism, a mood that's as casually downbeat as Harmer's overcast voice itself."[3] Entertainment Weekly gave All of Our Names a B+ rating, writing: "While it doesn't top her priceless 2000 debut, You Were Here, the fluid, moody Names comes respectably close. With a voice as silvery and luminous as a full moon, Harmer constructs daring metaphors to convey emotional perplexities... songs like the rueful 'Tether' display Harmer's gift for setting human drama to fresh melodies."[4] Paul Cantin of No Depression praised the album and remarked on its themes of rural life and the outdoors, also writing "... while there’s nothing here that quite reaches the dramatic punch of the latter album’s standout songs... All Of Our Names confirms that Harmer is, by any other name, a formidable, singular talent who has amply rewarded the patience of her fans." Tracks: 1. "Pendulums" – 3:26 2. "Almost" – 3:57 3. "Greeting Card Aisle" – 4:37 4. "New Enemy" – 3:54 5. "Silver Road" – 3:38 6. "Dandelions in Bullet Holes" – 6:02 7. "Things to Forget" – 3:34 8. "Came on Lion" – 3:10 9. "Took it All" – 4:41 10. "Tether" – 3:21 11. "Go to Sleep" – 3:38 I'm A Mountain 2005  I'm a Mountain is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer, released in 2005. She received three Juno Award nominations for her work on the album. Unlike her two previous albums, You Were Here and All of Our Names, I'm a Mountain is an acoustic folk and bluegrass album, for the most part. The instrumentation on the album consists mainly of acoustic guitars, double basses, fiddles, mandolins, and percussion. The entire album was completed in one week. Harmer noted this was due to most of the material having been previously worked out during her latest tour. Harmer stated in a Billboard magazine interview: "There's nothing like confidence when you [are] in the studio. We were feeling really good." No single was released and the complete album was shipped to radio stations playing music in Americana, bluegrass and folk formats.[1] Some of the songs were written as early as 1998 and others just prior to recording. All the songs but two were recorded live in the studio. Two songs on the album, "Oleander" and "Goin' Out", feature Harmer's father Clem on backing vocals.[2] Harmer grew up near the Niagara Escarpment in southern Ontario, and learning of the threat of development there, she began to raise awareness about the situation. The song "Escarpment Blues" was written to present Harmer's concern over its future.[3] The album was nominated for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize, a jury-selected $20,000 cash prize for the Canadian album of the year.. In February 2007, Harmer received three Juno Award nominations. I'm a Mountain was nominated for Best Adult Alternative Album and her DVD Escarpment Blues for Best Music DVD. Harmer herself was nominated for Songwriter of the Year for her work on "I Am Aglow", "Oleander" and "Escarpment Blues". It would be five years before Harmer's next release. Music critic Marisa Brown, writing for Allmusic noted the traditional tone of I'm a Mountain and wrote: "The musicianship on the entire album is fantastic, especially the guitar, which ranges in style from Lynyrd Skynyrd-type riffs to bluegrass fingerpicking with a classical bent. Harmer's lyrics also show this versatility." She also writes "Harmer occasionally falls victim to the folksinger's greatest vice, the overextended metaphor, but for the most part her lyrics are direct and personal without being too sentimental, and her melodies are tuneful and catchy but not too predictable... it is Harmer's voice that her fans want to listen to, and I'm a Mountain delivers that perfectly."[3] Billboard magazine's review singled out several songs, writing "Harmer's ongoing personal discovery has been a joy through these past few years, and with this latest turn is no different."[4] Entertainment Weekly gave All of Our Name a B+ rating, specifically praising Harmer's cover of Dolly Parton's "Will He be Waiting for Me", writing: "The soothing lo-fi-ness of Sarah Harmer's folk-country tunes, and her warm crystal-clear vocals... offer a lovely respite." Tracks: 1. "The Ring" – 3:09 2. "I am Aglow" – 2:44 3. "Oleander" – 3:28 4. "I'm a Mountain" – 3:09 5. "Goin' Out" – 4:56 6. "Will He be Waiting for Me" (Dolly Parton) – 3:36 7. "Escarpment Blues" – 4:01 8. "The Phoenix" – 3:55 9. "Salamandre" (Chris Brown, Kate Fenner) – 2:37 10. "Luther's Got the Blues" (Luther Wright) – 3:50 11.
