Sage Christie

indie folk singer-storyteller

Laden with trad-folk arrangements and ear candy for music theory lovers, Sage Christie's debut concept album Little Deaths is a poignantly honest novel in song form, in which narrator Sage processes post-divorce grief through a whirlwind romance in Kansas. Their trademark image-rich lyrics raise questions of impermanence, mortality, and the challenge of finding home within oneself. Yet what distinguishes Little Deaths from similar tales of grief and rebirth is Sage’s wide-eyed retelling of disarmingly intimate moments, and the mile-deep wells of radical compassion into which they often stumble and fall. 

Sage Christie has been enchanting audiences nationwide since 2021. With a background in music theory and a lifelong love of folk music, Sage writes candid indie folk fairytales and sings them in a voice clear as a mountain stream. Sage's knack for melody and effortlessly poignant lyrics have made them a Kerrville New Folk finalist twice, and have drawn comparisons to songwriters such as Shawn Colvin, Cavetown, and, lately, Brandi Carlile. 

Live Performances

FOLKS ARE SAYING

“Little Deaths is precisely the kind of hidden gem that I seek out each year; a fearless and earnest record that couldn’t be made within the bigger music industry system. [...] It’s so autobiographical that it feels like you shouldn’t be hearing it; like a journal entry that you read before realizing that it wasn’t meant for you.”

— Kevin Sellers, This World Scares Me's Top 10 Records of 2025

“Christie excels lyrically on Little Deaths, breaking down intimate scenes from a short-lived relationship and relaying them in a relatable and image-rich fashion. [...] Musically this album is no slouch either. While largely a trad-folk album, Christie includes unexpected progressions and rich orchestration to great effect.”

— Thomas Mims, Pylon Blog

written in 10 minutes while driving home. once home, i spent the next 15 minutes showering, drying off, and tweaking the lyrics.

to get an authentic pub feel, we drank beer during the recording session and stomped on the floor extra theatrically. thank you nick for the beer and expert engineering, and thank you Holler & Crow for making this song sound EXACTLY how i wanted.

dedicated to my incredible fans who've waited so long for the fully orchestrated Little Deaths. this is track 10, the official lead single.

question: what folk tune did i accidentally plagiarize in writing this one? y'all tell me if you figure it out. ♡
