Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer will bring her distinctive voice to the Drayton Festival Theatre on Nov. 17.
Hey Rosetta will also perform that night.
With Harmer’s 2000 release, You Were Here being certified Platinum in Canada, it was no surprise the next two would follow in close suit and reach gold.
I’m a Mountain was also nominated for the Polaris prize. In the years after touring for her last studio release, she set music aside to focus on political and environmental campaigns, helping to shepherd PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Land), the organization she co-founded.
Harmer’s latest album Oh Little Fire was just released in June, her first album in five years, and she sounded reinvigorated and positively charged.
Hey Rosetta is an indie-rock band from St. John’s, Newfoundland.
After coming on the music scene in 2005, it took only a year for it to take home Group of the Year, Pop/Rock Group of the Year, CBC Galaxie Rising Star of the Year, and Album of the Year for its debut album Plan Your Escape, at the 2006 MusicNL awards.
Their most recent album, Into Your Lungs (and around in your heart and on through your blood), was released in 2008 and was produced by Hawksley Workman. At the East Coast Music Awards in 2009, they took home three awards: Group Recording of the Year, Recording of the Year, and Alternative Recording of the Year.
The Harmer show is at that Drayton Festival Theatre, Nov. 17, and doors open at 7pm.
Tickets are $45, and are available at www.ticketmaster.ca and the Drayton Theatre box office at 519-638-5555.
