Rachael Sage

Hello, sizzling, sexy mensches...

Greetings from our NYC headquarters, where it's 90+ degrees...shvitz-o-rama! We hope you're enjoying your summer, and are finding some time to enjoy warmer weather, good company & the odd blockbuster movie – on an airplane, perhaps :) Speaking of airplanes, our own Rachael Sage has been doing quite a bit of travel since we sent our last newsletter, and having adventures galore. She's been to the UK (twice!), traversed California, and most recently, shared the stage with Judy Collins on Cape Cod, MA.

It's been a very busy summer, and now Rachael will be spending some time working on new songs and then heading back into the studio with longtime friend and co-producer Andy Zulla (The Sweet Remains, Rod Stewart), along with her favorite engineer & all-around-brilliant human, John Shyloski. More details below, along with a smattering of upcoming shows in the U.S. & UK. Enjoy!

xo & light,
- Rachael & Team MPress

1. UK Tour Recap: John Barrowman, Troubadour Headline Show & Pride In London

Birmingham Symphony HallThis summer, Rachael & her amazing violinist Kelly Halloran joined star of stage and screen John Barrowman on a whirlwind UK tour, supporting almost a dozen shows at big, beautiful venues everywhere from Edinburgh to Cardiff to Cambridge. Along the way, they used in-ear monitors for the first time (exciting!), fell in love with John & his incredible cast & crew, and made lots of new friends. Shortly thereafter, Rachael returned to England to perform at Pride In London (where the star of "Phantom Of The Opera" befriended her, and she met glamorous cabaret artists Apple Derrieres & Adam All). From there, she made her way to the beautiful countryside of Wales, where she performed at the Llandeilo Jazz Festival.

Check out the tour recap video, and a photo gallery on her Facebook Page, featuring some of their adventures... and make sure you're following Rachael on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with her travels in real-time!
