Hello & a hearty Happy 2024 to you all!

We hope the beginning of 2024 finds you filled with hope and wonder, and open to miracles and magic – in spite of so much hardship around the world. Where there is darkness there is inevitably courage, and it's always humbling & inspiring to be reminded of the resilience of the human spirit!

In times like these it's a challenge not to feel powerless, but around here we like to think that's where creative expression can help steer us toward brighter times. Sing your song! Write that poem! We are here for it and would absolutely love to know what you're doing to keep calm and stay creative.

Speaking of which, your favorite glittery songstress has lots of new excitement in store for you! Read below for the latest on Rachael's forthcoming acoustic album, brand new video, UK & US tour dates, and lots more...

xo & light,
Rachael & Team MPress

Rachael is excited to announce that her new album Another Side is now available for pre-order at the MPress Store! Another Side is The Other Side completely reimagined, with entirely new, acoustic (but not necessarily stripped-down!) instrumentation and Rachael's intimate melodies front and center. She has brought in several friends as special guests, including breakthrough folk artist Crys Matthews, Trina Hamlin (harmonica), percussionists Quinn (Tracy Chapman) and Katie Marie, Americana vocal duo Annalyse & Ryan, Nashville singer-songwriter Amy Speace, and fellow MPress artist Grace Pettis.

The album will be out on CD and digitally in the spring, and you can secure your copy now!

PRE-ORDER

Rachael has just released a brand new video for "Deepest Dark"! The video premiered in Spill Magazine and Wonderland (UK). The video was filmed last summer in the historic Asylum Chapel in London, and was directed by Irish filmmaker Lee Malone. It also features longtime Sequin Kelly Halloran.

Watch the video for "Deepest Dark" HERE!

As per tradition, Rachael will perform again as an official Casio Artist at their keyboard booth at The NAMM Show later this month. It's always an honor for Rachael to represent her favorite brand of portable pianos, and she and Team MPress look forward to learning about new technology and making lots of new musical friends in beautiful Anaheim, CA! If you'll be attending, please feel free to reach out...we'd love to connect!

A new year means a new tour! Rachael can't wait to return to the UK, her home away from home in March for a headline tour. She will once again be accompanied by Kelly Halloran on violin, and some fabulous local artists will be supporting the shows. Plus, advance copies of her new album Another Side will be exclusively available at these shows! Tickets for all are on sale now. Advance purchase is greatly appreciated, and please tell your friends.

Tickets are on sale now at rachaelsage.com/shows.
