Hello beautiful snow angels,

We hope you're all keeping cozy, wherever you may be...and listening to great holiday music! Rachael Sage, her band The Sequins, and our small but mighty team here at MPress Records are wishing you the loveliest holiday season & sending over-the-top amounts of love, joy & virtual glitter (less messy!) your way.

This is, of course, traditionally the time of year when we slow down, take stock of our blessings, and celebrate loved ones. Whatever you may or may not observe by way of holiday traditions, one thing is blissfully certain: you are the soulful, sacred wind beneath Rachael's sparkly musical wings – and we're so grateful you're part of our extended family!!

xoxo, Happy Holidays, & don't forget to breathe!
