Album Notes

Rachael Sage is a modern day renaissance woman. She's the creator of Feathor Boa Pop - the psychedelic musings of a young East Village woman who tours the U.S. and Europe playing some of the most interesting music in pop and rock today!

A rare combination of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary feminist sensibilities, THE VILLAGE VOICE has described her music as "earthiness, color and emotion...Sage has folk on the brain and piano keys for hands and is sure to put on a show sublime."

A John Lennon Songwriting Contest and USA Songwriting Competition winner, Rachael has toured with Ani DiFranco, played the Lilith Fair, appeared at Rockrgrl 2000, and won the ASCAP Pop Songwriting Contest twice. Sage runs her own nationally distributed label MPress Records in New York and designs instruments and clothing that have been featured in the New York Times. She has recently written her first book of poetry entitled "Karma's Trapeze", currently only available at her live shows.

"Smashing The Serene" is her second full-length release, and features her signature poetic lyrics and soulful piano playing. With a sound that ALBUM NETWORK has decribed as "universal in appeal", Sage creates music that is quirky, mystical and intimate, but with vivid, genre-crossing arrangements.

Welcome to the keyboard and vocal adventurousness of Rachael Sage!
