Episode 092–Deborah Berg “New Road Home” with Bruce Hilliard
She is proud to be an official Martin Guitar and Sennheiser endorsed artist.
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.
