Rachael Sage

Shalom, friends!

It's been a while since we've kibitzed, as Rachael's been enjoying some rare time off the road in her hometown NYC. Between composing new tunes for her next album, catching up on her painting, and helping with the promotion of her fellow MPress Records label-mates' latest releases, it's hardly been a stay-cation...

But amidst all the mishugas, Rachael's also managed to squeeze in some local culture including the Broadway shows "Kinky Boots" (featuring her longtime bassist Mike Visceglia in the orchestra), and "Macbeth" (the first play Rachael scored in college), along with a concert by one of her favorite songwriters, Leonard Cohen. As she passionately puts it, "Sometimes as an artist you just need to be on input, and it's been humbling to take in some inspiring performances by absolute masters this month...there's nothing I adore more than getting my tuchus kicked!"

This month Rachael will be heading to the Midwest, making stops in IL, WI and IA. She'll also be appearing in Toronto, Canada at NXNE, debuting at The Highline Ballroom in NYC, performing at Boston Pride, and then returning to the UK for a whirlwind tour throughout July. Details below!

xoxo & light,
Rachael Sage & The Sequins
...and Team MPress

4. RADIO: "CALIFORNIA" AT U.S. RADIO & "INVISIBLE LIGHT" ON UK AIRWAVES!

CaliforniaOn April 9, "California" was serviced as a single to radio stations all over the U.S.! Thanks to all the DJs supporting Rachael's latest track from her album "Haunted By You". (For a list of local stations you can call to request it, click here.) Overseas, "Invisible Light" has recently been played by Clare Balding on BBC Radio 2 (UK), woohoo!

Did you miss the premiere of Rachael's latest video for "California" when Blurt Magazine premiered it in April? Never fear, you can still watch it now! Produced by actor/singer Apollonia Kotero ("Purple Rain") and directed by Dabo Kadima, it was shot spontaneously in Paris on Rachael's day off. Enjoy!
