Hello & Happy August! To celebrate Rachael's favorite (yep!) month of the year – when the line between sweltering heat & the occasional autumnal breeze becomes beautifully blurred – we have a smattering of great news for you. From continued U.S. touring to brand new music & video, here's the latest on all things Rachael Sage & The Sequins.

Enjoy!
xo, Rachael & Team MPress

Rachael Sage, accompanied by Sequins band members Dave Eggar (cello) and Sarah Jean (violin) will be joining wildly talented tour-mate Kristen Ford on a bunch of co-bills throughout the Southeast in August! The fun starts this week with tour stops including Asheville, Nashville, Savannah, Atlanta, Charleston and more, winding up in Philadelphia. Details below – and purchasing advanced tickets is highly recommended to ensure yourself the best seats!

"Live It Up", the upbeat and hopeful third single from Rachael Sage & The Sequins' forthcoming album Canopy, is out now via MPress/Universal – and you can hear it wherever you enjoy streaming or downloading your music! "Live it Up" is just the summery, upbeat piano-pop romp we need in these chaotic and altogether unpredictable times, emphasizing equality and understanding, and showcasing Rachael's signature keyboard chops along with some beautiful trumpet playing by Russ Johnson!

The Maxi Single contains not one but 2 beautiful mixes by Sage's longtime engineer and co-producer Mikhail Pivovarov, as well as a special Radio Mix by Grammy® winner Andy Zulla. Listen HERE, and thanks for sharing & spreading the word!!

LISTEN NOW

While they were recording in the studio, Rachael and drummer (and honorary Sequins member!) Doug Yowell (Suzanne Vega, Howard Jones) made a fun performance video for "Live It Up", and it recently premiered in MXDN (US) and MUSIC-NEWS (UK). You can watch it now on YouTube and get more than a glimpse of the making of the album, including the beautiful Steinway Rachael played on at her favorite recording studio The Carriage House, with some lovely camera work by John Shyloski capturing the creative process.

In these challenging times for the LGBTQ+ community – amidst so much funding being cut for services that save lives and provide mental health support to at-risk LGBTQ+ youth – Rachael and Team MPress will be allocating 10% of Rachael's "Joy = Resistance Tour" proceeds to one of their favorite organizations, The Trevor Project. So when you come out to hear Rachael Sage & The Sequins live this summer/fall, you'll be helping to sustain the nation's leading LGBTQ+ suicide prevention and youth counseling organization (thank you in advance for your giant heart!). Learn more about their vital work HERE.

We appreciate you. ❤ 🙏 (And if you're affiliated a publication or radio station and would like to be added to our MPress Media List, please reach out!)

CANOPY

"Brimming with warmth and passion at every turn." – Lock Mag.

“a powerful call for inclusivity, compassion, and unity – a tender anthem of hope in an era marked by division and unrest…a rich tapestry of sliding guitars, wistful lyricism, and a current of hope” – Essentially Pop (UK)

“(‘Canopy’) is a song that gently and artfully implores us all to heal, which is something we collectively need quite desperately… and this song and its observations are hooky and lovely as it breathes truth.” – Americana Highways

JUST ENOUGH

“‘Just Enough’ (is) a soulful exhale – a gentle reminder that simply being ourselves is enough, even in a demanding world.” – SKOPE Magazine

“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 (UK)

“Just Enough” draws on everything from the lush harmonies of ’60s girl groups to the golden-era grooves of Van Morrison.” – OriginalRock.net

LIVE IT UP

“‘Live It Up’…is an invitation to drop the weight of the world for three bright, joy-drenched minutes and let your heart breathe a little easier.” – Music-News (UK)

“Optimistic new single ‘Live It Up’ (is) upbeat piano…with bouncy instrumentation and dreamy, whisper-soft vocals.” – MXDN
