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 – whether they’re longtime fans from back when she broke through with her terrific “Silver City” debut in 2004, or newcomers just now joining the party.  album, On her new album, “Together Alone,” Borges sings with the kind of pensive ache her twang and torch-lit voice was born for. Come and experience this wild n’ free spirit in a solo concert at the Niagara. Local upstarts, Hobo Coat open in support.
