Rachael Sage & The Sequins are equal parts consummate musicianship, poetic lyricism and infectious high energy. With piano-chops hearkening to early Bruce Hornsby and a vocal style No Depression has described as "epically romantic", lead singer Sage also draws on her many years of dance and acting training to enliven material spanning folk-pop, Americana and alternative genres. Unusual instrumentation featuring strings, harmonica, percussion and occasional spoken-word punctuates dynamic songs about self-determination, compassion and transcendence – seamlessly sewn together by Sage's hilarious sense of humor and vibrant, adventurous sense of style. Making a splash in recent years at festivals including SXSW, Black Deer, Pride In London, The Great Escape, and Edinburgh Fringe, Rachael Sage & The Sequins bridge the earthy, retro-sensibilities of 70's-era folk-rock with contemporary subject matter and the ability to connect meaningfully with audiences of all ilks. Whether performing at NYC's Town Hall, London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, The London Palladium or Whelan's in Dublin, Rachael Sage & The Sequins always bring the positive vibes and musical reminder that we're all on this planet to lift each other up. With a brand new self-produced album Canopy set for a 24 October release, this is a band on a mission to connect, entertain and inspire. Having performed as support for diverse artists ranging from Jamie Cullum, Rufus Wainwright, Ani DiFranco and Howard Jones, to Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin, Judy Collins and Imelda May, Sage and her dynamic ensemble are poised to expand their loyal fanbase both as a live act and via their much-anticipated new album...creating music that strives to promote inclusivity, and to provide artistic shelter in an often overwhelming world. |

"a mesmerizing entertainer...The songs are thoughtful, pensive and flush with an emotional flourish, all carefully and adeptly executed...Sage is simply superb" – Goldmine "Rachael Sage has an inimitable personal style... a performance as distinctive as it was entertaining." – Washington Post "Her keen, ironic sense of humor and quirky sense of the profound is what makes her special as a songwriter" – Billboard "Theatrical, expressive and blessed with perfect comedic timing, Sage is the kind of performer you can't take your eyes off." - Stereo Embers "Rachael Sage is an artist who truly commands respect...this performer truly lights up the room in every sense. Sage and her accompanying band, the Sequins, are extremely tight and professional...(and she has) a self-assuredness on stage that only comes from years of being on the road and pounding the pavement." - Music Connection "(Rachael's) songs are underpinned by the search for hope, inspiration, emotional stability and warmth...her voice is very much a well-honed and multi-skilled musical instrument, always keeping the listener engaged" – Americana UK "beneath the swirl of melodies that would’ve felt at home on a Van Morrison B-side or in the spirit of a lost Dusty Springfield cut, there’s a heartbeat of quiet defiance” – Music News |
