Who IS she??

Bought the CD - VERY good! She will be playing a joint called the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA on Saturday, November 19 and return to CAFE NINE on Friday, January 6!!!!!!

I recently discovered that Sarah appeared at Cafe Nine in New Haven in early September. "Great rootsy rockers this month as well. On Sept. 2, Boston's Sarah Borges brings shades of Lucinda Williams and Lone Justice's Maria McKee to the club. She's considered by many an artist to watch." Damn!

Even jaded pros sit up for unheralded singer
By Chris Morris
NASHVILLE (Hollywood Reporter) - Sometimes an unheralded young talent can take even the old pros by surprise. That's exactly what happened in Nashville recently. Los Angeles-based Sin City Marketing was throwing a show at the Exit Inn during the Americana Music Assn. conference. During the company's all-hands-on-deck affair, a slip of a girl named Sarah Borges took the stage, plugged in her guitar for a few numbers, uncorked a wall-rattling wail and blew everybody's head off.

A veteran and not unjaded record distributor, watched the performance in slack-jawed bedazzlement. As many in the Exit Inn house did, he showed up the following night for Borges' official AMA show at the Basement -- ignoring a gig by one of his company's own acts in the process. At the end of the show, he stood outside the club, waiting for Borges to sign a copy of her Blue Corn Music debut "Silver City" for him. - complete story

AMG Biography - Walking that fine line between punk and country, Sarah Borges emerged from Boston with her alt-country debut, Silver City, in 2005. Influenced by a wide range of artists including Mahalia Jackson, Sid Vicious, Hank Williams, and Merle Haggard, Borges has a sound that encompasses rootsy barroom country and hard-edged American rock with a fair amount of ease. Signed to Blue Corn after a well-received gig at South By Southwest in 2004, Borges went into the studio to work on her debut. Some tracks from the demo sessions were good enough to make the final cut, and the album was released to critical praise. She spent a good portion of the summer of 2005 touring and promoting Silver City alongside such respected players as Dave Alvin. - CD review
