Rachael Sage lit up the 2025 NERFA conference, bringing her trademark blend of warmth, wit, and fearless artistry to our session taping. Just ahead of releasing her new album "Canopy," she delivered an intimate performance that showcased the emotional richness at the heart of her work.
"Canopy," her first full-band record with longtime collaborators The Sequins, is vibrant and cinematic — a collection of 14 songs that celebrate resilience, connection, and Sage’s always-poetic storytelling. From its soaring title track to the deeply reflective “Nexus” and “The Best Version,” the album leans into uplift and radical empathy, wrapped in her signature mix of Americana, pop, and alt-folk.
Our NERFA session captured Rachael Sage at her most inspired: generous, energetic, and completely in command of her craft. It was a perfect preview of an album built to resonate long after the first listen.
