THE BLISTERING SUN is the latest release from folk-innovator and Independent Music Award winner Rachael Sage. The follow-up to 2004’s critically acclaimed BALLADS & BURLESQUE – which spent several weeks on CMJ’s Top 200 and charted on AAA commercial & non-commercial stations nationwide – THE BLISTERING SUN was produced by Sage and mixed by Grammy winning Engineer Kevin Killen (Kate Bush, Elvis Costello). The record features inspired performances by New York musicians 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 tours over 150 dates a year throughout the U.S. and Europe, and 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. For a full tour schedule and more information visit: www.rachaelsage.com.
