ARISE Music Festival

Through reflective lyrics and soulful melodies, J.E.Borgen’s music is an eclectic taste of folk-alt with the influences of rock, Americana, and jazz. He’s built the foundation of his sound through wholeheartedly absorbing his musical heroes and influences, which include Neil Young, The Beatles, 10,000 Maniacs, Gordon Lightfoot, Brandi Carlile, Ryan Adams, and Wilco. J.E. has independently released three albums, with his most recent, “Roots Down Deep” debuting in November 2016. Along with his band, Denver’s own (born and raised) J.E.Borgen, continues to draw wide appeal and a strong grassroots following that spreads from the shores of the Northeast to heights of the Western Rocky Mountains.
