Miranda studied jazz vocals with Jordan, Jay Clayton, Louise Rose and seminal British jazz singer Norma Winstone who praises Miranda’s singing on her latest album as “very flexible and natural.” Born in England and raised in Victoria, B.C. in a musical family. Miranda was taught piano by her mother before she started school and she played lute, harp, clarinet and alto sax in school then took up guitar and a professional career including tours of Europe, England and the U.S. in her 20’s.

Sage’s vocals were also showcased at Scotland’s Mid Argyle Annual Gala, Isle of Wight Jazz Divas Festival, Alberta’s Beneath the Arches concert series, multiple appearances at the TOSH concert series in Qualicum Beach, and Victoria International Jazz Festival.
