Hello & a very Happy New Year from Rachael Sage & MPress Records, y’all :)

2018 is going to be an amazing year! We can already feel it (even though the temperatures are bone-numbing here in NYC).

First off, we wanted to share the *incredibly exciting news* that this winter Rachael will once again be joining the legendary Howard Jones on tour — this time all across the US! Her recent holiday EP “Joy!” has also been climbing the radio charts, breaking the Adult Contemporary Top 40 & reaching #6 on the Folk DJ chart. Rachael has also been hard at work on her forthcoming album “Myopia”, and Her New Years resolution is to serenade as many of you in person as possible with her new songs, woohoo!! Details & more news below...

xo, light & gratitude!

1. RACHAEL TO JOIN 7-WEEK US TOUR WITH HOWARD JONES!

Rachael is beyond thrilled to be heading back out on the road with one of her very favorite artists, the legendary UK hit-maker Howard Jones! Spanning a whopping 7 weeks (!), the US shows are part of his "Songs & Stories Tour", which features Jones solo acoustic at his piano, sharing anecdotes about each composition and his extraordinary 4-decade career. Rachael & Howard will be hitting major cities in the Northwest, West Coast, South, East Coast & Midwest, with many venues already nearly sold out! For a full list of shows, visit Rachael's website. To read more details about the tour, check out the official press release!

2. “JOY!” MAKES WAVES AT AC & FOLK RADIO

Rachael's very first holiday EP, "Joy!", was released to much glittery fanfare this past holiday season, and we're very grateful it was so well-received by fans and media alike! Multiple tracks were featured on the SiriusXM channel "The Village", and the single – her unique interpretation of "Joy To The World" – broke the AC Top 40 Radio Chart at #37, alongside major label artists like Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato, and Bruno Mars. Surreal!! Thanks also to the Folk DJ Chart for embracing the EP, where it climbed to #6 among such artists as Bela Fleck & Sofia Talvik.

3. HOLIDAY EP RELEASE RECAP, PHOTO ALBUM & PRESS

Rachael ended 2017 with a bang, launching her EP "Joy!" in NYC at Rockwood Music Hall. Special guests Fiona Harte & Grace Field sang on Rachael's holiday repertoire, ranging from her Hanukkah original "Tchatchkes & Latkes" to the Christmas classic "Angels We Have Heard On High". The EP release celebration also raised funds for MusiCares Hurricane Relief, and a poignant time was had by all! Check out these beautiful photos by John Shyloski of Rachael & her band The Sequins, HERE!

"Joy!" was also favorably highlighted by media last month in both the US & across the pond, with features including M Music & Musicians Magazine, Curve Magazine, & the Jewish Telegraph in the UK. Woohoo!

4. “MYOPIA” SPRING CD RELEASE TOUR IN THE WORKS

Rachael & MPress Booking are hard at work planning Spring & Summer CD Release shows for her pending album "Myopia" throughout the US, to be followed by an international tour including festivals as well as traditional listening venues. We would love to hear any/all ideas you may have about where you'd like to see Rachael perform near you — and if you'd like to be so bold as to consider hosting a house concert in your own home (or a local community center if that's more suitable!), please contact booking@mpressrecords.com and we'll walk you through the process!
