(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Boston-based twang-rocker Sarah Borges launches her new album, “Good and Dirty,” at Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday, February 26, at 9pm. Borges brings a full band with her – including producer Eric “Roscoe” Ambel – to introduce her audience to her new music as well as old favorites. Borges mines early rock ‘n’ roll styles as well as their roots and tributaries, including country, blues, R&B, and country-punk, on her way toward making new indie-rock with the immediacy and passion of 1950s and early-‘60s music.

Before it has even been released, “Good and Dirty” has been praised as “female-driven country rock and roll at its best” and “Sarah Borges is a rough and ready roots-rock artist who knows how to spin a sultry sound.” The album was produced by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel, whose credits include Steve Earle, Bottle Rockets, and Joan Jett.

Longtime Helsinki favorite Borges has been entertaining audiences for years with her diverse brand of punk-inflected noir-rock. Hers is a unique blend that could be the soundtrack of a David Lynch film, drawing equally on influences as diverse as Dolly Parton, Mahalia Jackson, X, Sid Vicious, Merle Haggard, Smokey Robinson, and bubblegum pop. She cuts an alluring figure onstage, and was seemingly born to play rock ‘n’ roll.

Her previous album, “Radio Sweetheart,” was produced by Steve Berlin, best known as keyboardist and saxophonist for the similarly roots-music mining Chicano-rock group Los Lobos.
