Coming up... 4/27: Meat Puppets “Rotten Shame”... 5/4: Rusted Root “Dance In The Middle”... 5/18: Young Dubliners “Saints and Sinners” The Stars are aligning to give praise for Sarah Borges The Stars Are Out is in stores now and the critics are raving about it “Belting with conviction over a virtually Nudie-tailored wash of silvered pedal steel and squawky country guitars (which are even doubled for a classic Western-swing solo on “Miss Mary”), Borges consistently sounds more world-worn and wise than her age could possibly allow. . . Follow this one—she could lead you to some exciting places.” — Paste

“There aren’t many buzzed-over young rockers with Smokey Robinson and NRBQ tunes floating around their heads, but Sarah Borges covers both on her third LP, and second with this band. ‘Stars’ shows off Borges’ friendly pop-rock attack and tosses in bits of twang, rockabilly and Fifties pop. Along with five covers are five originals, including the Joan Jett-esque “Do It for Free.” Some of the material sounds like the work of a skilled, if not terribly distinct, bar band. But thanks largely to Borges’ warm, perky voice, Stars is tuneful and unhip in a hip kinda way.” — Rolling Stone

“Borges and her band, the Broken Singles, ripped into a version of Bob Dylan’s “Outlaw Blues” that was impressively reshaped, and had Borges standing on top of a bar stool in her St. Patrick’s Day party dress [they’re a] working rock-and-roll band intent on putting their all into their live show” — Philadelphia Inquirer

“A modern-minded honky-tonker with a retro streak” — The New York Times

“”Do It For Free”, Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles: Boston-based Borges busts out of her country-roots mold with this sassy guitar-driven rocker from The Stars Are Out.” — USA Today

“Her willingness, and ability, to stretch [herself musically] make this Borges’ strongest yet.” — Performing Songwriter Hanging with honeyhoney The US gets set for Katie Melua On tour with Gavin DeGraw: 5/2 San Diego, CA 4/15 Chicago, IL 5/3 Los Angeles, CA 4/16 Decatur, IL 4/17 Columbus, OH 5/5 San Francisco, CA 4/19 Manchester, NH 5/7 Portland, OR 4/20 New York, NY 5/9 Seattle, WA 4/21 Harrisburg, PA 5/11 Minneapolis, MN 4/22 Philadelphia, PA 4/24 Boston, MA 5/12 Chicago, IL (SOLD OUT) 4/25 Reading, PA 5/26 Northampton, MA 4/26 Alexandria, VA 5/27 Boston, MA 4/28 Richmond, VA 5/28 New York, NY 4/29 Knoxville, TN 5/1 Louisville, KY 5/30 Philadelphia, PA 5/3 Charlotte, NC 5/31 Alexandria, VA 5/4 Nashville, TN 6/1 Annapolis, MD 5/5 Atlanta, GA 6/4 Atlanta, GA 5/7 Jacksonville, FL 5/8 Tampa, FL 6/5 Nashville, TN Yusuf sales take off in anticipation of roadsinger release roadsinger Teaser and The Firecat Huge iTunes pre-sales +118% this week +89% this week For up-to-the-minute AAA news...
