Roots label Sugar Hill Records has signed Narrows "discovery" Sarah Borges.
"We're very excited to have Sarah on Sugar Hill," says Kevin Welk, president of the Welk Music Group. "We are eager to expand on her already enthusiastic base and bring her music to a larger audience."
"I'm so happy to become a part of the Sugar Hill roster," says Borges. "The band and I are excited to be introduced to folks who are already fans of Sugar Hill artists, and we're looking forward to bringing our brand of rock'n'roll to the label's vast catalog of exceptional music."
Artists on Sugar Hill include Nickel Creek, the Duhks, James McMurtry, Dolly Parton and Tim O'Brien.
"I know I can speak for everyone at the Narrows in congratulating Sarah and her band on this accomplishment," said Narrows' emcee and blogger Steve Hug. "When Narrows president Patrick Norton first brought her to the Narrows a couple years back as an opening act, we didn't know what to expect. We were blown away from the start!"
Sugar Hill will release her label debut this year. Borges will go back into the studio with Paul Q. Kolderie, the Boston-based producer of her acclaimed 2005 album, Silver City (Blue Corn). Kolderie has more than 300 records under his belt as producer and engineer, including acts like Hole, Radiohead, Morphine, and scores of others.
Borges says the new record will be "a take-home version of our live show - full of energy and heartfelt songs, with a nod to the music that's come before us and an eye on our indie rock heritage."
Sugar Hill Records is owned by the Santa Monica-based Welk Music Group, who also owns the prestigious and historical Vanguard Records.
