Sarah Borges with Monday Night Bluegrass
Change is something that takes a little getting used to. If you need proof of this, ask the soulful Sarah Borges. After a long and successful stint with her band, The Broken Singles, 2011marked the band's breakup and Sarah embarking on a solo career. She admits it took some time to adjust. "One of the things I didn't expect is when you're on stage and you're doing a show, there's certain things you have to do. You have to tune your guitar. You have to take a sip of your drink. It's just inevitable. I guess I had my band mates fill in that space whether it be telling jokes or on-stage banter. You can't have that when it's just you. That's a change. You have to be ok with it being quiet for a second. Also, you play out with your bandmates so much especially when you've been together for a long time, and you operate as a unit. You have to dig deep and think about how you're going to make the show exciting by yourself instead of relying on others." However, "digging deep" has never been a problem for the Massachsetts native. Whether it be through performances or her writing, Borges has learned to dazzle and do it well. That ability can be heard all over her 2014 Radio Sweetheart disc, as well as her upcoming follow-up, Good and Dirty, due in early 2016.
For Good and Dirty, Borges received some all-star help in the producer's chair. "I got to work with Eric "Roscoe" Ambel who has such a great track record Steve Earle, Bottle Rockets, Joan Jett. I had met him through some mutual friends. He's producing and playing guitar on it." To record the disc, Borges ventured outside of her Boston comfort zone. "I went to his studio in New York, and we worked on the songs a little bit. I'm using his guys that he plays with on the record. I'm excited about it, because I feel that it's the most honest record I've made to date. The first single is called 'Caught By The Rain."
Eric Royer (banjo), Sean Staples (guitar), Jimmy Ryan (mandolin) & Dave Westner (upright bass) are Monday Night Bluegrass, performing every Monday night at Atwood's. They will be Sarah's backing band as well as doing a set of their own. These are some of the most talented musicians in the roots/bluegrass scene.
