Sarah Harmer uses her voice for something bigger than music
In a Q interview, the Canadian singer-songwriter looks back on her career as both a musician and an activist
For more than 35 years, Sarah Harmer has used her voice to make award-winning, critically acclaimed folk, pop and rock music — but that's not all. She's also been a vocal advocate for important environmental and humanitarian causes, both in this country and abroad. At the Juno Awards in Vancouver earlier this year, Harmer was honoured with the Humanitarian Award, and now she's receiving a key to the city for her hometown of Burlington, Ont. In this career-spanning conversation with Tom Power, Harmer talks about her early days making music with The Saddletramps and Weeping Tile, going solo, and why she's so passionate about protecting the land she grew up on.
