Sarah McLachlan in Tahoe onstage Tuesday

If you’re like me, you have one pressing question about McLachlan: what’s in her handbag?

Now the truth can be told: a book of Buddhist wisdom. A deck of “Hello Kitty” playing cards. An iPhone (for her daughters, India, 12, and Taja, 7. Mom hates phones). Dark chocolate. And oregano oil for her voice.

Sarah McLachlan plays Tuesday, June 24, in the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys.

Ah, the voice. McLachlan is part rock star, part emotional balladeer, famous for her mesmerizing voice and multi-instrument talent (piano, keyboard, guitar, banjo) and easy-going stage demeanor. Ironically, many people know her mainly for her work with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and various animal-based and human charity organizations. But the girl can sing, having sold more than 10 million albums. She also founded the Lilith Fair, which features women artists.

The June 24 show is the first of 13 this summer at the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets, which are $39.50 to $89.50, will be available at the gate, Harveys spokeswoman Lesley Overfield said Monday.
McLachlan’s latest album,  “Shine On,” was released in May and is also lends its name to her current, 30-city tour. You probably know two of her biggest hits by heart: “I Will Remember You” and “Building a Mystery,” the latter which won her the 1997 Female Vocalist of the Year.

McLachlan, who was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is also a doctor. She received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Alberta last year.
