Escarpment Blues

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Escarpment Blues is a Canadian concert and documentary film starring singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer, released theatrically in 2005 and on DVD in 2006.

In June of 2005, Harmer launched a tour, called I Love the Escarpment, across southern Ontario to promote Protecting Escarpment Rural Land (PERL), a conservation group she cofounded to battle a proposed quarry development on the Niagara Escarpment near her hometown of Burlington. Harmer toured communities near the escarpment, both performing and speaking about the PERL campaign. The film documents both her live performances and her activist work from the tour, and takes its name from "Escarpment Blues", a song from her 2005 album I'm a Mountain.

Escarpment Blues is currently a nominee for Best Music DVD at the 2007 Juno Awards.
