This is an official Uncommon Ground 35th Anniversary show featuring Rachael Sage!

RACHAEL SAGE (accompanied by Trina Hamlin on Harmonica (Susan Werner)) is a singer-songwriter, poet and multi-instrumentalist who has released over 20 self-produced albums and EP's. Sharing stages with Sarah McLachlan, Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Ani DiFranco and Judy Collins (with whom she recorded an acclaimed duet), Sage’s career has been defined by vibrant storytelling, innovative creativity and social activism. Her new album Under My Canopy is due in Fall 2026 on MPress/Virgin, but will be exclusively available at her live shows beginning this Summer.

Rachel Drew is a singer-songwriter from Chicago, celebrated for her soulful voice and catchy, self-penned tunes that blend pop, rock, folk, and retro soul. Her latest album, Old Sky New, was recognized as one of the 13 Best Chicago Albums of 2024 by the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ. Rachel’s music has been featured on NPR’s Great American Folk Show and WFMT’s legendary Midnight Special program. Alan Harrison of The Rocking Magpie writes of Rachel’s latest album, “There’s something of a hint of Dusty in Memphis, minus the strings here; as Rachel has a similar breathy and pearlescent voice that reels you in... pure Laurel Canyon at its height when Linda Ronstadt and Mama Cass could do no wrong.”
