Follow on Google News | Award Winning Artist Rachael Sage To Release Acoustic/Folk Version Of Latest Album ChoreographicA love letter to her early days as a dancer and also to her more recent collaborators in the world of lyrical dance, CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC) strips back the original album's layered production in favor of more intimate instrumentation; On her most acoustic recording to date, Sage is joined by longtime collaborators Kelly Halloran (Tom Morello, Michael Franti) - fiddle and Ward Williams (Brandi Carlile) - cello, as well as cellist Dave Eggar (Pete Seeger, Amber Rubarth), Jack Petruzelli (Rufus Wainwright) and James Mastro (Amy Speace) - guitar. Produced by Sage and Grammy® Winner Andy Zulla (Stephen Kellogg, The Sweet Remains), "Choreographic" Rachael Sage's latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC is a collection of songs inspired by her very first love: Dance. The songs on CHOREOGRAPHIC were all sparked by the singular theme of movement through music, and composed very quickly by Sage during a week-long stint in a London hotel room. A former ballet dancer who attended The School Of American Ballet as a child, Sage learned to play music by ear listening to classical music while performing in such Balanchine ballets as "The Nutcracker" and "Coppélia" with The New York City Ballet; folk and popular influences came much later, but that musical platform was the lifeblood that enabled Sage to write her own songs and make sense of the world around her, from age five. About Rachael Sage: Rachael Sage is an award-winning singer/songwriter and producer from NYC who has become one of the busiest touring artists in indie music, performing 100+ dates a year throughout the US, UK and Europe. She has shared stages with Dar Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins, Marc Cohn, Al Stewart and Shawn Colvin, among others. Her "Choreographic" Artist Statement: "As a contemporary folk artist inspired by Celtic and Middle Eastern traditions as well as classical music from my ballet career, I've always had so much respect for the folk and acoustic community. At heart, I am a storyteller foremost - and it's never been more important to me to be a part of this tradition, weaving my songs about love, loss and renewal into this rich, ongoing fabric."
