Rachael Sage & Vanna Pacella – Salon Stage

Hudson Valley-based favorites Rachael Sage & The Sequins are equal parts consummate musicianship, poetic lyricism and infectious high energy. With a vocal style No Depression has described as “epically romantic,” lead singer Sage and her longtime band enliven material spanning folk-pop, Americana and alternative genres. Making a splash in recent years at festivals including SXSW, Poughkeepsie Pride and The Great Escape, Rachael Sage & The Sequins bridge the earthy, retro-sensibilities of ’70s-era folk-rock with the ability to connect meaningfully with audiences of all ilks, always bringing the positive vibes and musical reminder that we’re all on this planet to lift each other up. With brand new Top 40-charting album “Canopy” out now — and this year marking the 30th Anniversary of Sage’s pioneering indie label MPress Records — this is a band on a mission to connect, entertain and inspire. www.rachaelsage.com

Vanna Pacella is a rapidly rising multi-instrumentalist from Falmouth, MA, whose contemporary pop/rock sound, defined by haunting layered vocals, cinematic keyboard solos, and profound lyricism, has earned her the title of “modern Fleetwood Mac” from fans. Recognized as the 2025 New England Music Awards’ “New Act of the Year,” Vanna crafts an emotionally raw sound that blends the sonic architecture of Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac with the soulful grit of Bonnie Raitt and the pop sensibilities of Sara Bareilles, allowing her to fluidly move between intimate songwriter showcases and full-throttle rock bills. Backed by a fiercely loyal fanbase across New England and significant industry recognition, including multiple songwriting awards and performances at prominent venues like City Winery Boston, Vanna delivers a massive sound with her expertly tight trio, continuing to make impressive strides as New England’s hometown rising star.
