Sarah Harmer is not what you’d call prolific, so when she releases a new album, it’s news. But fans have waited even longer than usual for her June 22 release, Oh Little Fire—four years, to be exact. Her last one, the country/bluegrass-leaning I’m a Mountain, earned her a nomination for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize, an award for Canada’s album of the year. But Harmer’s influences, and her output, range widely. All Music Guide calls her style pop/rock, but she’s also got a folky side. Raised in Burlington, Ontario, she was an early fan of Tragically Hip, and when she started playing solo in 1999, opened for Moxy Früvous and the Indigo Girls, among others. Before that, she was a member of the Saddletramps, then formed college-radio favorite Weeping Tile. Friends encouraged her to release an album of pop standards she did as a gift to her dad, which became Songs for Clem. But her breakthrough release was 2000’s You Were Here, which produced the hits “Basement Apartment” and “Don’t Get Your Back Up.” TWEETS
