Cosmic American Music

Opener Danielle Miraglia and headliner Sarah Borges goof around before the show

Wasn't it Gram Parsons who coined the term Cosmic American Music? If so, Saturday night at the Narrows started perfectly with Gram's group The Flying Burrito Brothers blasting through the speakers, via a new CD from recently discovered recordings, warming up the growing crowd.

From Mississippi John Hurt to original tunes written by a young woman from Taunton, MA, it was Cosmic and American all the way.

The show began with newcomer Danielle Miraglia, out of Revere, MA, expertly plunking the strings and singing the blues.

After a break, it was headliners Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles, on the road for much of the year, returning to Sarah's home area for Thanksgiving. The band was tight and loose, energetic and quiet, then punk-rock roaring loud. Their set consisted of originals, covers of old punk songs, and even a Charley Pride number.
