HI FRIENDS!

I wanted to keep you all up to speed with my fundraising campaign -
things are going wonderfully. So far we've raised a whopping
$5250, and we've got all 10 songs started.


THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has donated!!!
Unfortunately I still have just about 10k to raise if I want to get
this record made, and that's a lot of lettuce. So for those of you who have donated in the past but want to increase your pledge today, or haven't had a chance yet to pledge, I have a proposition for you!


For the next 24 HOURS ONLY, anyone who donates to my campaign or increases a pledge they've already made will get a very special prize.

Drumroll please...

To show my extreme gratitude, I will call you (or someone of your
choosing) on your (or their) birthday and sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
you in my best Marilyn Monroe, Big Bird, Sarah Borges or anyone else voice to personally thank you for your contribution! I will also send you each a never before heard demo track from the record, so you can hear the a song from the record before anyone else!


Don't forget - to get the phone call from me and the unreleased
demo track, you need to up your pledge in the next 24 hours! So, get your pledging fingers ready and click on this link:

Help Sarah Make a Record

A special note from Sarah:

Dear Friends-

As you may know, I'm making a new record! A solo one, apart from the
Broken Singles, with Lyle Brewer on guitar, Russell Chudnofsky (Lori
McKenna) also on guitar, Kimon Kirk (Aimee Mann, Grant Lee Phillips) on bass, Andy Plaisted ondrums, Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) producing, and David Minehan (The Neighborhoods) engineering. What a crew! And I'm doing without help from one of the pesty labels, but with the support of friends and fans like you.

You've already given once to help me make a live album/dvd, and I didn't
want to let this fundraising campaign go by without thanking you for
making the last one such a success! It's because you gave that we were
able to get those projects made, and that I'm in the lucky position to
make a record all on my own.

Some of you have already donated to my new record, and THANK YOU!!!! I'm
writing to ask the rest of you lovely folks to do the same. Here are some
of the highlights: new original songs that I'm really proud of, fabulous
rewards like mix tapes and artwork and house concerts as thank yous for
giving, and a warm fuzzy feeling inside from supporting independent music.
What else do you need?

thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I'VE SEEN YOU BEND OVER BACKWARDS AND DANCE LIKE A FIEND ONSTAGE, ALL WITH A GUITAR IN HAND. HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN PULLING THESE CRAZY TRICKS?

I think about it every night! "This is the night where I'm gonna fall!" In New Haven, I accidentally knocked out one of my front teeth with my guitar. My mom cried when she saw me at the show.

Sarah Borges & The Broken Singles| 'Well-Oiled Machine"| Herald-Palladium

By Jeremy D. Bonfiglio, The Herald-Palladium, St. Joseph, Mich.

The band, which is beginning the final week of a five-week cross-country tour, is also gearing up to start recording their next studio record, which may or may not be released by their current label.

"We haven't parted ways," Borges says. "Technically, Sugar Hill is still our label, but economically everything is difficult these days and that's left some things uncertain."

What is certain is the musical direction of the band, which Borges says, seems stronger than ever.

"In the past we've explored different elements of our style," she says. "Whether that's country or blues or rock or whatever. The songs we've been writing now, they're pretty rock but it come out in the most organic way. We've been together now for eight years, so I feel like now we're sort of this well-oiled machine."

Borges started co-writing for the first time with Freedy Johnston, Ryan Hedgecock of Lone Justice, Dan Lavery of Tonic, and Marshall Crenshaw. The band recently recorded a handful of songs in Portland, Ore., and plan to head back into the studio after their final leg of their current tour.

"We've written quite a few songs," Borges says. "I think we're just waiting to get home so we can demo them."

Three of those new songs have become staples in the band's current set. There's "Mind On Me," which began as a co-write with Johnston that was flushed out by the band; "Tell the Same Story," the first song penned by guitarist Lyle Brewer, which Borges describes as a "melancholic pop song in line with The Smiths"; and "Thunderbird," an instrumental to open their live shows also written by Brewer that Borges calls a "flashy honky-tonk-sort-of-rockabilly-sort-of-rock number."
