Sarah back at The Nine on Friday...

Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles will return to New Haven's Cafe Nine this Friday night before returning home to play at Johnny D's in Davis Square, Somerville on Saturday. The gig is the first at the Musicians' Living Room since last year's opening for the Blasters (which I missed due to unforeseen circumstances). Not sure who is opening- The Nine lists SBBS w/The Manchurians, while the SSBS website says opening for the Manchurians. It's my hope that it is the latter (those 11:00 showtimes are tough for this old cowboy).

The Atlanta Music Guide gave a favorable concert review to SBBS for their show (co-billed with Eilen Jewell) at Eddie's Attic on November 22:
"....Borges has a vocal style like that of Dolly Parton without a southern accent, mixed with the laid-back air of a girl who could dig a five-star dinner or a ballpark dog at Fenway just the same. Sarah is fun, upbeat and witty on stage. She and her crew - Lyle Brewer on lead guitar, Binky on bass, and Robert Larry Dulaney on drums, along with Borges on rhythm guitar - deliver stories about their time on the road, what inspired Sarah to write the songs she plays, and jokes too. Sarah wears her dancing shoes in every performance (worn-in cowboy boots) and encourages the audience to join in the dancing."
