Rachael Sage & The Sequins with special guest, Tekla Waterfield

Album Release Show! Rachael Sage & The Sequins have been creating wildly expressive, original alt-folk-pop for decades - and this is the 30th Anniversary year for Sage’s artist-owned label, MPress Records. After receiving her first “big break” as Ani DiFranco’s opening act in 1998, Sage proceeded to play Lilith Fair with her NYC-based band, beginning an international touring and recording career that’s taken her everywhere from Berlin to Japan. An accomplished pianist and multi-instrumentalist, Sage also plays guitar, percussion, produces and is a former dancer with The New York City Ballet as well as a visual artist. With an ongoing message of inclusivity, resilience and compassion, her songs straddle Americana/folk, pop, and even classical genres…supported by creative instrumentation including cello, violin and harmonica. A longtime activist on behalf of LGBTQ+ rights as well as homelessness, women’s health and eating disorders, Sage and her label MPress seamlessly combine the arts and activism with an underlying message of love and acceptance - needed now more than ever. Rachael Sage & The Sequins’ new acoustic album “Under My Canopy” will be available exclusively to concertgoers on this tour, ahead of its late fall wider release. 2026 International Acoustic Music Award recipient for “Best Female Artist”, Seattle based singer/songwriter Tekla Waterfield and acclaimed long-time internationally touring guitarist Jeff Fielder (Indigo Girls, Neko Case, Amy Ray Band), are a husband and wife duo based in Seattle, WA. Their music has been described as poignant, emotionally soaring, lush, slow-burning and rich with Americana-folk textures.The duo have been recognized for  their work by arts orgs like Sonic Guild & 4Culture, SMASH, Artist Home, Doe Bay Artist Retreat and One Reel; with film placements, national and international radio play and critical acclaim.
