SAGE OF NEW ENGLAND is a band led by Matthew Hayes Jacobs with producer Justin Tracy.
Matthew started guitar at age 7 and fell in love with writing music at age 14. His intention is to write music with depth, particularly exploring themes of transformation and compassion. While the music is reflective, it also employs a wide palette of colors, instrumentation, and hints of other genres--including folk, bossa nova, and progressive rock. They are based in New York City and Kingston NY.
The band name comes from one of Matthew's songs, about a woman disillusioned by her search for inner peace. After moving to New England, she meets a farmer that guides her home. It serves as a reminder that wisdom can come from anywhere.
