Erik Deutsch
Pianist, keyboardist, composer, bandleader, and genre-bending sideman Erik Deutsch currently splits time between Brooklyn, NY, and Mexico City. The eclectic path of Erik’s 25-year career has led him to appear on more than 150 records and perform with pop/rock/country and jazz artists like Dixie Chicks, Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash, Citizen Cope, Charlie Hunter, or Alice Smith.
A prolific composer and bandleader, Erik's seven albums have received critical acclaim by RollingStone, Jazz Times, USA Today, and The Huffington Post. Deutsch’s most recent album, Live at Lunatico, was recorded in Bedstuy, Brooklyn, and features his NYC sextet: Avi Bortnick, Mike McGinnis, Tony Mason, Brian Drye, and Fred Cash.
In 2020, Erik joined forces with 12-time Grammy-winning band The Chicks (formerly Dixie Chicks), the highest-grossing female act and country music band in history. Their new critically acclaimed album Gaslighter was released in July 2020.
