Following her legendary shows at The Maze we are delighted to bring Sarah back to Nottingham!
Sarah Borges is a rock and roll musician based in the Boston, Massachusetts, area, formerly signed to Sugar Hill Records. Her music has been described as "walking that fine line between punk and country".
Borges' wide variety of influences are often noted. They range from Dolly Parton, Mahalia Jackson, X, Sid Vicious, Merle Haggard, to bubblegum pop.
On the strength of a performance at the South by Southwest Festival in 2004, Borges earned a record deal with Houston's Blue Corn Records. Her records earned praise from Allmusic "an unusual knack for mixing alternative rock with country” and compared Borges to Maria McKee of Lone Justice, admired how her songs "balance some fierce guitar licks with heartfelt twang,” "grittily brilliant" with songs that are "brilliantly rollicking".
