Line Up
Martin Yates, a soulful singer/songwriter from the U.K brings a fresh new edge to Pop music, an edge that hasn’t been heard in years. No matter the listener, Martin is able to capture the heart with his impassioned lyrics over simplistic yet perfectly representational production. Yates is a soulful crooner with amazing vocal talent that is being groomed to be one of the top artists of this generation. Under the tutelage and mentorship of Gary Michael Houston nephew of the iconic Whitney Houston, is very excited about Martin’s career and future in this industry.
Eva Brighty is a Folk/Pop Artist from a small town in Suffolk. Her heartfelt lyrics and warm melodies channel the wholesome spirit and emotional depth of her music. Whether she plays acoustically or full band, her music never fails to create a connection. With sounds like Lizzy McAlpine,Phoebe Bridgers and Adrianne Lenker. Eva writes with the intention to gain multiple perspectives, wanting her music to be interpreted however audiences may want to.
Rachael Sage is a soulful vocalist, innovative multi-instrumentalist and award-winning singer/songwriter and producer from NY who has earned a loyal international following for her dynamic piano playing, delicate guitar work, and improvisational audience interaction. A six-time Independent Music Award winner, Sage has toured with an eclectic list of artists including Howard Jones, Beth Hart, Ani DiFranco, and Grammy® winners Shawn Colvin and Judy Collins – with whom she also recorded a critically-acclaimed duet of Neil Young's "Helpless". Her music has been dubbed "witty, graceful, and powerfully intimate" by NPR Music, and American Songwriter described Sage as "one of the most compelling and creative singers and songwriters of the modern era". She is touring behind Rachael Sage & The Sequins' latest album Canopy, released in 2025 on MPress/Virgin. Under My Canopy comes out later this year on MPress/Virgin, but will be exclusively available in advance at her live shows beginning this Summer. For more information, visit rachaelsage.com.
