Eric Hirsh

Eric Hirsh is the mysterious "5th Beatle" of Four String Samurai. Brought into the group in March of '07 as an accompanist, not as an actor, Hirsh has been experimenting with the role of musical interplay in longform improv ever since.
When not creating whimsical merriment with the FourString boys, Hirsh spends his time as a professional musician. As a composer, he is a three-time winner of the ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composers Award. As a pianist he has turned heads playing in ensembles across a variety of genres: Beast Reality, Orquesta GarDel, The Remix Project, The ESP Trio, PrimeraJazz, and the John Brown Quintet. As a producer he has recorded albums for Bazungu, Full of Stars, and, of course, the Samurai Hour Theme Song.
