Born: November 12, 1970 in Burlington, Ontario.
Former Saddletramps and Weeping Tile member, Harmer recorded a solo album called 'Songs for Clem' with Jason Euringer in 1998 which was initially just a handmade Christmas gift for her father. The recordings made it into the hands of Universal Music and Harmer was encouraged to release a fully realized CD.
The result was 'You Were Here' in 2000.
Following 2004's 'All of Our Names' and 2005's 'I'm A Mountain' - which was nominated for the Polaris Prize - she set music aside to focus on political and environmental campaigns, helping to shepherd PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Land), the organization she co-founded. Only on occasion did she venture into the studio, lending backup vocals to artists such as Neko Case, Howie Beck, and Great Lake Swimmers.
