NEW YORK, NY — MPress Records presents 2 CMJ Events: MPressFest ’08 on Wednesday October 22, and Rachael Sage on Friday October 24.
MPressFest at Forum on Wednesday October 22 is an evening of music from Rachael Sage, Theo Eastwind, Todd Carey, Joy Askew and Tiff Randol. All artists have been featured on the MPress Records annual charity compilation series New Arrivals. First launched in 2006, the New Arrivals series features established and rising independent artists and each benefits a charity. Vol. 1 benefited Gulf Coast Hurricane Relief while Vol. 2 raised funds for World Hunger Year. In stores October 28, 2008, New Arrivals Vol. 3: Artists For Eating Disorders Awareness features a wealth of indie talent from around the globe including The Kin, Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Adrienne Pierce, Jay Clifford, Ember Swift and Glen Phillips; proceeds from Vol. 3 will benefit NEDA (National Eating Disorders Association).
MPress Records founder and New York songstress Rachael Sage performs an official CMJ Showcase Friday October 24 at Kenny’s Castaways. Recently honored by Performing Songwriter as one of the "100 Most Influential Independent Artists of the Past 15 Years," Sage released Chandelier earlier this year. The disc has garnered glowing praise from The Deli: "from triumphant to soulful...a brilliant storyteller", while influential Philadelphia radio station WXPN featured the song "Vertigo" as an "XPN Morning Show: My Morning Download" the week of release.
