1. "BLUE SKY DAYS" SKATING-THEMED VIDEO PREMIERES IN US & UK!

Blue Sky Days video still

We're super excited to share that the brand new video for Rachael's current single, "Blue Sky Days" has been premiered in the US by Pop Matters, and across the pond by Music News! The uplifting piece features 10-year-old rising figure-skater Morgan Sage (no relation), and was shot at the historic Evarts Rink in Katonah, NY. Directed and produced by longtime collaborators Mike Flanagan and Nick Clark, respectively, the clip was also art-directed by Rachael herself – who has been a passionate fan of figure skating her entire life. Stay tuned for more exclusive behind-the-scenes & interview footage in the weeks to come... and in the meantime, check out the video HERE and please feel free to share far & wide!

2. RADIO LOVE: "BLUE SKY DAYS" HITS TOP 40 & "CHARACTER" CLIMBS FOLK CHART

Mediabase Radio Chart

Rachael's current single "Blue Sky Days" has been steadily building at radio, and it's currently #38 on the US Top 40! Produced by Sage and Grammy® winner Andy Zulla (Kelly Clarkson, Rod Stewart), Sage hopes the gratitude-centric song – from her full album "Character" – will serve as a source of hopeful optimism for anyone going through tough times. Thanks to all the folks at radio who've been spinning it, and to everyone who's been sharing the song!

Folk Radio Chart

In addition, this past month "Character" climbed to #6 on the Folk-DJ Chart (album & artist), alongside releases by the great John Prine, Della Mae, and Bob Dylan! Rachael & Team MPress are so grateful to all the Folk DJs for their support – and specifically for spinning "Bravery's On Fire", "Ohio", and "Blue Sky Days" – currently all in the Top 15!

5. "HOME" COLLABORATIVE VIDEO SUBMISSIONS EXTENDED THROUGH MAY

Home Video Project

As some of you may know, Rachael and Dublin-based singer-songwriter Fiona Harte wrote a beautiful ballad called "Home (Where I Am Now)" a few years back, which appeared on the album "Choreographic". Eager to shrink the globe during this challenging time, Sage has invited her listeners to contribute short video clips of themselves doing anything they enjoy while sheltering in place; these clips will be edited into a brand new, collaborative video for "Home"! We'd still love to include more of you doing that thing you do at "home" – whether it be dancing, cooking, crafting, playing with your pets, or just lip-syncing in your pajamas...so we've extended the deadline a couple more weeks. Read all the info on how to submit HERE!
