Norway and the trolls

The Live Scene:
The band will be out in Colorado Feb 28th - March 4th. Check the dates below for show details! In related news, I am pleased to announce a new addition to our band, Adam Ollendorf. "Olle" is a super accomplished guitar player and his talents on pedal steel and electric guitar have added a new depth to the live show. All told, I couldn't be more excited about the music and where everything is headed. I am really excited to tell you that I'll be heading overseas to Norway March 10 to play with the Tina Lei Band at The FIS World Cup (alpine skiing) at Kvitfjell resort. This will be my first experience playing abroad so I'm hoping to win over the Viking crowd while I'm there.

What's up April?

The Live Scene:
April and May were great months for the band as they performed on the road opening up for their friends Braddigan and Adam Ezra group at Tupelo Hall, The Middle East, Mercury Lounge and Middlebury College.

Studio:
Upcoming Album- Borgen has reconnected with engineer and friend John Mailloux for his third album that is slated to be released by the end of the summer. Mailloux owns and operates Bongo Beach Production's studio in Fall River and is the guiding light behind J.E.'s first record, "Outside." J.E. is excited to once again be working with him on these new set of songs. The usual suspects, Erik Privert and Dave Brohpy, lead the rhythm section and added to the mix is pedal steel aficionado, Adam Ollendorf. Borgen also hooks up with Boston based cellist and singer songwriter Larissa Maestro for a couple of the tracks. To sample a b-side version of the new song, "Your Tree," click HERE.
