SARAH MCLACHLAN announces the final date of her “Sarah and Friends” North American Tour will be Sunday May 1st at Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre in Abbotsford!

The “Sarah And Friends” tour offers fans an intimate evening with Sarah McLachlan as she not only performs classic hits and new favorites from her gold-certified new release LAWS OF ILLUSION (Arista Records), but also takes moments throughout the evening to answer questions from the audience. Sarah’s two friends and band members, Butterfly Boucher and Melissa McClelland, also have their moment in the spotlight, each performing their own short sets.

“Golden-voiced chanteuse Sarah McLachlan knows how to charm an audience”, said the Calgary Sun of the March 6th performance. “Her warm stage presence and lack of pretension are just two of the things her dedicated fans love about her…It was an intimate evening of music, laughs and maybe a few tears.”

Of LAWS OF ILLUSION, her first album of brand new material in 7 years, USA Today raves: “Some of her most buoyant and beautifully crafted songs ever. Candid and thoughtful, LAWS OF ILLUSION, finds her tackling heartache head-on and leaves no doubt that she wants to find love again – and will.” And The New York Times glows: “The songs are as direct as Ms. McLachlan’s have ever been, and as finely tuned…The album is as lush and measured…It’s a collection of ballads, hymns, and waltzes, sung in long arcs of melody with a voice that enfolds its strength in breathy intimacy. Acoustic instruments gleam, with unearthly keyboards and electric guitars billowing up around them.”
