WE INTERVIEWED SARAH MCLACHLAN

Claire Donald & Tess Bellomo
About this episode

A PINCH US MOMENT for Right Answers Mostly, we got the honor to talk to the iconic Sarah McLachlan, who has been a constant and powerful pioneer for female singer/songwriters and continues to champion for musicians today. We got to ask Sarah all about the experience and legacy of Lilith Fair, challenges she has faced in the music industry, what she is working on now, and re-visiting her Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Album for a BRAND new tour 30 years later. She was an absolute delight and we are more than honored we got to meet her!

Make sure to follow Sarah @officialsarahmclachlan, and get tickets to her Fumbling Towards Ecstasy 30th Anniversary Tour HERE

Created and produced by Tess Bellomo and Claire Donald.
