Sarah Borges is a rock and roll musician from Taunton, Massachusetts, formerly signed to Sugar Hill Records. Her music has been described as "walking that fine line between punk and country". Borges grew up in Taunton, a city south of Boston, in the third generation of a Portuguese (hence the hard "g" in her name) family. She was interested in musical theatre as a youth and majored in the subject while a student at Emerson College. Borges' wide variety of influences are often noted. They range from Dolly Parton, Mahalia Jackson, X, Sid Vicious, Merle Haggard, to bubblegum pop.
