In Focus: Rachael Sage at the Towne Crier Cafe in Beacon

Singer-songwriter Rachael Sage performed this past Sunday, December 4th, at the Towne Crier Cafe in Beacon. Evoking music of the 60s-era folk genre with her powerful vocals, masterful guitar-playing, and agile piano skills, Sage put on an incredible performance.

A resident of Beacon with a large New York audience, Sage performed her eclectic music with Kelly Halloran on violin and Trina Hamlin on harmonica and percussion. With her recent release of “Revelation Ground,” Sage performed songs from this new maxi-single along with others from her Billboard Charting album Character, her wide collection of 14 albums, and her experimental side project called Poetica. A multi-instrumentalist and award-winning artist, Rachael Sage has played all across the globe and is set to perform in New York City at The Loft at City Winery to continue her tour across the United States.

During one song, Sage performed acoustically without the accompaniment of a microphone or instruments, instead clapping her hands to keep up the beat. The crowd reacted excitedly, admiring her soulful vocals as she walked off the stage to greet those watching from their seats. Rocking her bright-red boots, bright-red glasses, sparkly hoops, and flower-embellished hair, Sage played her large variety of guitars along with her sticker-covered keyboard. During her performance of Unconditional off of her Poetica side project, Sage used spoken-word to express her resonant composition with entrancing instrumentals, captivating the audience.

Rachael’s performance was truly phenomenal, and something nobody should miss. She previously played many shows in New York between February and April of 2022 during her tour. She is having her last New York show on December 12th and is set to perform at her later tour dates in Kansas.
