Though Casper Sage’s songs might first catch your ear with the lush polish of contemporary R&B, the Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist is pulling from a much wider sonic world. On his upcoming EP PATINA, out in May, Sage turns introspection and emotional upheaval into an immersive experience, pairing shimmering 80s-inspired textures with intimate songwriting.

Watch Casper Sage perform an untitled track, “bits + pieces” and “Change your mind” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
