Sarah Harmer is a Canadian singer-songwriter and activist hailed for her melodic acumen and reflective lyricism. Born in Burlington, Ontario, Harmer garnered critical acclaim with her solo debut "You Were Here" in 2000, a folk-pop masterpiece that established her as a mainstay of the Canadian music scene. Her intimate vocal delivery and poignant songwriting have drawn comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell and earned her a dedicated fan base.

Over the years, Harmer has released a diverse range of albums that explore various genres, from the alt-country feel of "I'm A Mountain" (2005) to the more rock-inflected tones of "Oh Little Fire" (2010). With a career that has spanned over two decades, her latest offering "Are You Gone" (2020) is a stirring collection that marks her return after a decade-long hiatus from the music industry. Throughout her career, Harmer has been praised for her environmental activism as well as her music, using her platform to advocate for conservation efforts in her native Ontario and beyond. Her craft encapsulates both her passion for the natural world and her introspective explorations of personal and social themes, solidifying her position as an influential figure in contemporary folk music.
