RACHAEL SAGE - 'POETICA' ALBUM RELEASE SHOW!
Poetica is an adventurous fusion of poetry with jazz, classical and Americana musical elements in the vein of Leonard Cohen and Laurie Anderson. The self-titled debut album was conceived, produced and engineered by 6-time Independent Music Award winner Rachael Sage, with musicians contributing from around the globe. Poetica aims to create connection and shared experience via the unifying power of language.

Rachael Sage is a soulful vocalist, innovative multi-instrumentalist and award-winning singer/songwriter and producer from NYC who has earned a loyal international following for her dynamic piano playing, delicate guitar work, and improvisational audience interaction. She has toured with an eclectic list of artists including Howard Jones, Beth Hart, Ani DiFranco, and Grammy® winners Shawn Colvin and Judy Collins, with whom she recorded an acclaimed version of Neil Young's "Helpless".

"Triumphantly unexpected and ever-surprising...John Lee Hooker meets Patti Smith meets Leonard Cohen meets Laurie Anderson? Yes please." – Music News (UK)

"Theatrical, expressive and blessed with perfect comedic timing, Sage is the kind of performer you can’t take your eyes off.” - Stereo Embers

"The Carole King of her generation..." - Blurt Magazine

The Long Farewells
On their debut album, "Only the Stars"—fittingly named after a line from a 1918 Carl Sandburg poem—Chicago's The Long Farewells look to bring to light unknown stories of the 1910s. In their trademark style of unearthing the beauty in tragedy, singer Gabrielle Schafer and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Rester have created a haunting portrait of America at a time of creative destruction that echoes our own. AmericanaUK calls the work “a fine album with lyrics to pique your interest and imagination... pleasingly literate songs with stories to tell,” and Murry Hammond of The Old 97’s says "The songs and recordings are fabulous.”
