Her forthcoming album with her band, Rachael Sage &amp; The Sequins, titled &#8216;Canopy&#8217;, is an invitation to find shelter and connection in music. A rich blend of folk-pop, Americana, and poetic storytelling, it reflects Sage\u2019s signature ability to turn lived experience into something universal, heartfelt, and uplifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently the official ambassador for Rainbow Mind, a pioneering UK charity supporting LGBTQIA+ mental health, Sage brings not only her remarkable voice and musicianship to the stage but also a message of radical inclusivity and hope. Her performances are known to be as intimate as they are joyful, a perfect way to open a night that celebrates togetherness and good cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the evening wouldn\u2019t be complete without The Overtones, who have been lighting up stages across the UK for over a decade. The four-piece, Mike Crawshaw, Darren Everest, Mark Franks, Jay James Picton, have earned their place as the country\u2019s favourite vocal harmony group with six Top 10 albums, 13 sold-out tours, and an irresistible feel-good energy. This year\u2019s tour is extra special, celebrating their glittering 15th anniversary in signature style: with classic Christmas hits, soul and Motown favourites, and their unmistakable charisma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running from 5th November to 10th December, the Christmas Party Tour promises sparkling harmonies, joyful singalongs, and plenty of surprises, and with Rachael Sage setting the stage each night, it\u2019s a perfect pairing. Sage\u2019s poetic storytelling and warm, inclusive spirit will be the glowing opening chapter to an evening designed to make audiences smile, sing, and celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
