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.
“Up-and-coming singer-songwriters with sincerity and heart that match [Sage] Christie are a true rarity, and are to be cherished.”
“Quickly I fell in love with [Sage's] clear enchanting voice, the delicate guitar playing, and of course the well-crafted songs.”
