Sage’s 2020 album Character yielded the Billboard-charting single "Blue Sky Days"; her side project Poetica, an adventurous fusion of poetry with jazz, Americana, and classical musical elements in the vein of Leonard Cohen and Laurie Anderson, debuted in October 2021.

Line Up

“Genuine talent….Sage has a knack for writing melodies that will break your heart without making you feel manipulated in the process….Where there’s poignancy, there’s also subtlety, unforced passion and knowing observation” – Rollingstone.com

Award winning US singer, songwriter and producer, Rachael Sage, traversed trans-Atlantic lines as she released her stunning single, ‘Invisible Light’ to the UK last August, whilst in the throes of a mammoth US live tour, which extended into a European tour. This incredible talent will again come to Europe in the summer. For Sage - who is also a poet, actor and visual artist, as well as a longtime record label owner (she founded MPress Records a decade ago) - music has always been her primary form of self-expression. Her 10th and latest album ‘Haunted By You’ is no exception as it delves deep into her soul and exposes raw heart-ripping emotions.

Rachael toured with Sadie & The Hotheads in February 2013, played at Midem and her usual SXSW performance, she came over again in the summer of 2013 & 2014 for UK festivals including Cornbury and London Folkfest. Rachael was back in Europe February/March 2015 to promote her duet with Judy Collins and summer 2015 for festivals & gigs and is back again Spring/summer 2016!
