Sarah Borges Band featuring Eric Ambel with The Tarbox Ramblers

One way or another, Sarah Borges connects with casual mastery. Whether it’s with the comrades she’s collaborated with over nearly 20 sparkling years of music-making, or the vivid portraits of people’s lives – and occasionally her own – she’s sketched in scores of emotionally resonant songs. But most of all, Borges has built a loyal following by connecting, through her own charismatic, down-to-earth spirit with her audience.

Michael Tarbox writes songs anchored in hillbilly music, country blues and early rock ‘n’ roll. Atmospheric and shot through a sense of hard-earned perspective, they combine Tarbox’s vivid lyrics and a guitar sound that Twangville says “is as raw as it is charismatic.”

Tarbox came into his own as a musician after taking a deep dive into country blues records he’d heard around his parents’ house as a kid. “The more I listened to those old songs the more beautiful they seemed,” says Tarbox. "You couldn’t reach the bottom of music like that.” He started writing and, after a year of obsessive practice, formed The Tarbox Ramblers. The group released albums on Rounder, and worked with heroes like Jim Dickinson, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
