Mix an Idaho girl with The Big Apple Circus and you get a girl who loves country clouds. controlled chaos and cotton candy, a girl who plays piano for an all-girl band called The Lascivious Biddies, a girl who likes to write tunes about everything from salt to intellectuals to cobblestone streets.
Deidre can be found around New York City playing at Joe's Pub, Rockwood Music Hall or Barbes. She has three jazz records out on the Sunnyside Label. "Sun is Us" features Deidre's quintet and energetic instrumental writing. "Simple Stories" adds Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza and a children's choir to the mix. The latest release, "Twin Falls", is a moody duo album with jazz bassist Steve Swallow.
Currently she is working on a duo project with multi-instrumentalist Rob Jost and plays in an 80s-themed powerpop band called The Deelees with fellow Biddy Lee Ann Westover.
Time Out New York says: "Rodman consistently demonstrates a knack for crafting melodies as simple and timeless as gospel hymns or folk songs".
Elvis Costello says: "a wonderful pianist and a delicate composer with a truly unique voice".
The Washington Post says: "powerfully distinctive compositions and uncomplicated yet sharply evocative playing".
All About Jazz NY says: "Deidre Rodman tells her tales with lush, personal, careful compositions".

Lullabye by George Gershwin. Composed 1919 for String Quartet. First performed, Julliard String Quartet, 1967. Here transcribed for four electric guitars, 1987. They do not change a note!
this is just a quick note to let you know that this is the last chance to get a physical copy of my first album "Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls".
I'm going to release my new album this fall (subscribe to my blog if you want to be informed!) and the first one will then be only available as a download version.
So if you prefer a proper CD - like I do! - a record you can really hold in your hands, with all the artwork and stuff - this is your chance! :-)
Grab your hard copy of "Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls" now on CD Baby while stocks last!
After pre-release tours in Colorado and Georgia, Dehlia Low’s new full-length cd “Tellico” will be presented for the first time in Asheville this Thursday at the Grey Eagle ($8/10, thegreyeagle.com)! Several cuts off the new disk can be heard on at www.myspace.com/dehlialow and live takes of a few of the songs will be performed Thursday afternoon on WNCW 88.7FM. Thursday night’s show will also be a chance for those of you who didn’t make it to Merlefest to hear Lyons, Colorado’s own Spring Creek Bluegrass Band, who are also preparing to release a new disk next month. Dehlia Low will also be joined by “Tellico” producer Jon Stickley of the Shannon Whitworth band. We hope to see you out and thanks for supporting live, original, and local music.
