Sarah Harmer: Oh little Fire
Fri, July 9, 8:00pm – 9:30pm
Fire House Center for the Arts Market Square
When Sarah Harmer burst onto the international music scene with her acclaimed album You Were Here, Time Magazine hailed her as “The year’s best debut”. Now, in her latest CD, the Rounder Records vocal artist showcases a bit of her folk and country sides in oh little fire, her first new album in four years. These just may be the strongest batch of songs Sarah Harmer has ever released. Co-produced by Sarah and Gavin Brown (Metric, Sarah’s All of Our Names), oh little fire is full of the same hooky melodies, insightful lyrics, and lovely, plaintive singing which attracted so many fans to her music from the start of her career.
