“The Blistering Sun” is the follow-up to 2004’s critically acclaimed “Ballads & Burlesque”. Produced by Rachael, recorded by John Shyloski and mixed by Grammy® winning engineer Kevin Killen (Kate Bush, Evis Costello), the record features inspired performances by New York musicians including: Allison Cornell (Cyndi Lauper), Dean Sharp (Moby, Jill Sobule), Doug Yowell (Duncan Sheik, Suzanne Vega), Ben Butler (Dar Williams), Todd Sickafoose (Ani DiFranco) and Jack Petruzelli (Rufus Wainwright, Keren Ann). A vibrant personality and improvisational keyboardist, Sage has earned a loyal following for her infectious melodies and poetic lyrics. The 15 tracks on “The Blistering Sun” showcase her most adventurous work to date.

“Sage - poet, singer, dancer and keyboardist - takes her sweet soprano from jazz-pop love musings to passionate, accordion-laden folk outpourings that decry oppression.” - THE VILLAGE VOICE

“a uniquely rebellious style that is as quirky as it is passionate” - KEYBOARD MAGAZINE

With a crack team of players drawn from the crème de la crème of contemporary pop artists (Rufus Wainwright, Norah Jones, Moby, Duncan Sheik, Gavin DeGraw) Sage’s bark is as big as her bite on The Blistering Sun.” - AMPLIFIER

“Pop music isn’t crafted as carefully and expertly as this anymore and Sage is the stitch between the great rock and pop traditions of the past…Highly recommended.” - BILLBOARD.COM
