Shownotes

Deborah Berg is a performing songwriter and teacher whose distinctive voice, songwriting talents, and warm teaching style characterize her 38-year musical career.

She is proud to be an official Martin Guitar and Sennheiser endorsed artist.

Deborah Berg's latest release “New Road Home.”

Her newest project, New Road Home (2019) is Deborah's third solo album and sixth album to date. New Road Home was recorded at Grand Street Recording in Brooklyn, produced by Ken Rich, and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in New York City.

New Road Home evokes a musical travelogue that transports listeners to parts both unknown and familiar. Deborah’s inquiring lyrics, lucid storytelling, and signature voice create classic country songs with plaintive bluegrass echoes.

Deborah’s band on this album combines the immense talents of Charlie Giordano (accordion and keys), Richard Hammond (upright bass), Chris Tedesco (violin), Hugh Pool (vocals and dobro), Sherryl Marshall and Stephanie Seymour (backing vocals), Monica Passin (guitar), Ethan Eubanks (drums), and Rich Hinman (electric and acoustic guitar).

Deborah has published and written over 50 original and co-written songs.

In the 1980s Deborah and British music composer, Julian Marshall, formed the duo Eye to Eye and were soon signed with Warner Brothers Records. Gary Katz (Steely Dan) produced their two classic albums: Eye to Eye and Shakespeare Stole My Baby.

In 1999, as Deborah Berg McCarthy, she recorded and produced her first solo album, Places Where I Dream.

In 2006, Eye to Eye recorded a third independent CD: Clean Slate, produced by Rhett Davies (Roxy Music).

With Doug Katsaros in 2009, Deborah co-wrote the new theme song for the public television program, Great Museums, the only nationwide television series devoted to America's museums.

Ms. Berg’s second solo album, No Rush was released in 2012. Her single, Goin' Nowhere was played on over 87 terrestrial radio stations. Deborah was a featured ARTIST TO WATCH on iHeartRadio NEW! Discover & Uncover (through Clear Channel).

In addition to studio work, Deborah is currently a choir member and soloists with Middle Church Jerriese Johnson Gospel Choir in NYC. She was one of the featured soloist in the Christmas Eve Special, A Bold New Love: Christmas Eve with Middle Collegiate Church, which aired nationwide on CBS on December 24, 2018.

Since 2013, through the non-profit arts program, Feel The Music!, Deborah has directed The Singin’ Seniors, a vocal ensemble class for elders at the Lenox Hill Senior Center in midtown Manhattan.
