Hello & Happy Spring!
We hope this finds you all well. Rachael and Team MPress are starting to emerge back into the newly-vaccinated world, like the blossoms on the trees. We're not sure what this new feeling is — could it be hope?
Rachael is hard at work on various creative endeavors she can't wait to reveal to y'all soon. In the meantime, see below for an update on her livestreams, info on how you can help see her perform live and in person this year, and other springtime updates!
xoxo & light,
Rachael & Team MPress
1. MAY "STAY IN WITH SAGE" POP-UP STREAMS
During the months of May & June, Rachael will be finishing up some creative projects and switching up her weekly Stay In With Sage livestreaming schedule. Instead of on Sunday evenings, she will be doing pop-up performances each week. This week, she will stream on Wednesday, May 12 at 7:00 pm Eastern. As always, each performance will stream from Rachael's Facebook Page. Hope to virtually see you there!
*NOTE: This month, suggested donations for "Stay In With Sage" will benefit The JED Foundation, a nonprofit that partners with high schools and colleges in NYC and across the nation to strengthen their mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs and systems. Thank you in advance for supporting this important cause!
2. NOW BOOKING COVID-SAFE SHOWS FOR SUMMER & FALL
Rachael Sage & The Sequins are fully vaccinated and ready to get back out on the road! We are looking to book as many Covid-safe shows as possible through the warm-weather months of this year, driveable from the NYC area, in support of Rachael's forthcoming new project, "POETICA". If you're located in the Eastern or Central time zones and are connected to a concert series, festival, or venue, please get in touch to discuss setting up a show!
*CALLING ALL (WANNABE) HOUSE CONCERT HOSTS: Would you like to host Rachael in your backyard for a special "Sing Out With Sage" Covid-safe live event? If this piques your interest even a little bit, we'd love to talk to you about how to do that! No previous hosting experience required. Email booking@mpressrecords.com.
3. MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we encourage everyone to take this opportunity to check in with themselves and practice good self-care. Rachael reveals, "Mental Health Awareness Month is a great opportunity to cast light on our mental health and how much we still need to do as a society to remove the stigma surrounding mental illness. As a cancer survivor – and even before in my 20's – I have certainly had my share of struggles with depression and more recently during the pandemic, with anxiety. It is so important to know you are not alone, and that there are many resources available to help!"
Have you seen the lush & lovely lyric video for "Cave (Remix)" yet? The track, remixed by Don_Cerati has gotten some good press, including the video's premiere at The Sound Cafe, and in OutFront Magazine and the EDM site Hammarica. We hope you will check out the video (if you haven't already), and share it with your friends. Woohoo!
5. INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY — THANK YOU, NURSES!
May 12 is International Nurses Day & the last day of National Nurses Week! Please join us in celebrating the nurses in hospitals and doctor's offices everywhere who are the backbone of our healthcare, and who work so hard every day to keep us at our healthiest. Rachael says, "Throughout my cancer experience, I’ve had some incredibly kind, patient and encouraging nurses help me through long days of treatment with beautiful positive energy and skills galore. I see you all, and appreciate you!"
