After taunting everyone with this huge announcement
a few days ago, Ferg gave me the honor of sharing the news...
( This is an artist that deserves some serious scrolling...
She is an artist who achieves beauty and passion in everything she does...
Her rich catalog of songs (Good Enough, Angel, Possession, Adia, Building a Mystery, etc etc);
Her hugely influential role in shining a giant spotlight on women in music (and organizer of "Lillith Fair");
The gorgeously atmospheric set of albums that defined entire years of many of our lives;
And maybe most of all that voice - shimmering effortlessly between falsetto and chest.
We've loved her music for decades (did I mention we're huge fans?) and often dreamt about exactly how she'd play Telluride...
The sun beginning to set, casting a perfect alpenglow over the high peaks.
The promise of the greatest musicians on the planet (The Telluride House Band) waiting backstage for their nighttime closing set.
And one of the greatest singer-songwriters of her generation on the Shellman stage, her voice filling the valley - emotional, sensual, pure.
A perfect evening of music.
Here's a tasty little accompaniment for your scrolling:

We are thrilled to welcome
Sarah McLachlan to the 38th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
"I can't see the stars anymore living here
Let's go to the hills where the outlines are clear
Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long..." Listening to:
Sarah McLachlan's "The Freedom Sessions"
