The sassy Mia Borders walked out onto the Gentilly Stage around mid-day with enough attitude to kick butt the New Orleans way – with her voice, her guitar playing and her very-capable band beside her. Starting things off with “Walk On By”, the lady proceeded to wake everyone up who were unfamiliar with her brand of bluesy-smoke rock & soul. She is one of the guys and is never hesitant to let them know she can run with them full throttle. “Try Me On”, “Somethin’ Burnin’” and the excellent “Use Me” propelled Ms Borders to another level. She can definitely be the next big thing in kick ass blues-soul-funk-rock. With a new CD just coming out, don’t be surprised if she gives popular ladies Gaga, Katy and Nicki a swift kick in the tail and eventually take over their reign, returning the rock throne to it’s proper sound.
With a tight band featuring guitarist Kyle Sclafani, bassist Pablo Gonzalez, and drummer Nick Hingel, Mia has the confident comfortability to do whatever she wants whenever she wants on that stage. They hold down the fort with fat sounds and rock steady rhythms that inspire shouts from the crowd to keep playing. They fit her well.
