Event information

RACHEL SAGE www.rachaelsage.com www.myspace.com/rachaelsage.com
Self-taught musician, poet and producer Rachael Sage radiates what MOJO Magazine calls “warm, intelligent…NY indie charm”. An innovative, improvisational keyboardist, she performs over 150 dates a year with her band The Sequins throughout North America, Europe and Asia. In 2009, Sage made her debut at the world’s largest arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe, where she performed a week long run of her show “Sequins & Shpiel” to rave reviews. So successful were the shows that she was invited back again this year to the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival for a two-week run! Both the New York Daily News and Time Out recommended a subsequent sold-out revival of the show at New York’s Joe’s Pub as a “Top Pick”.
Sage, who has shared stages with Sarah McLachlan, Judy Collins, Marc Cohn, The Animals and Ani DiFranco, was named one of the Top 100 Independent Artists Of The Past 15 Years by Performing Songwriter magazine. A Grand Prize-Winner in the John Lennon Song writing Contest (Rock) as well as 2-time winner of both the OUTMusic and Independent Music Awards, Sage has earned a loyal following for her infectious melodies, poetic lyrics, and often-outrageous, colourful stage banter.
Her new self-produced album, DELANCEY STREET, due for UK release in September 2010 contains a dozen tracks of what CMJ calls “a resonant mixture of pop, folk and jazz”; inspired by the urgency of the Green Movement as well as her Jewish immigrant heritage, it is Sage’s most revealing work to date.

"Roo is a charismatic li'l performer on stage and on the mic. I love the way she oozes with melodies in song, with a sultry voice that takes u back to smokey jazz bars 'n' basements.. jamming on stage with the likes of Miles, Coltrane and all those cool cats loving it!!..... way before she was born!! 'Smoothed modernised vintage charm' in a nutshell"
