| unhinged folk-rock key, interpreted on piano...
Explanation:
"Déjantée" refers to the "tonalité folk-rock" and could be translated as "unhinged", or just "crazy". It's a very popular word at the moment. The" couchée sur" refers to the instruments and could be translated as "interpreted on". Some ideas to get started!

| there must have been a comma there in the very original... (déjantée, couchée)
Explanation:
It doesn't radically change the meaning of the sentence, but it makes much more sense...
Sorry, my computer crashed and I couldn't come back before you closed the question. That was quick, anyway!
I like what you chose, but thought it was an interesting exercise to read how it was translated.

Avec plus de 50 spectacles derrière la cravate, Damien Robitaille accumule déjà les éloges. Gagnant des Francouvertes 2005 et du Tremplin découvertes des Déferlantes de Cap-Breton en 2006, ce grunge crooner natif de l'Ontario vous chante en français ses propres compositions, dans une tonalité folk-rock déjantée, couchée sur piano, guitares et drums! Mélange entre Johnny Cash, Gainsbourg, Hank Williams et les Beatles, le premier album de Damien Robitaille a été réalisé et arrangé par Jean-François Lemieux et Simon Godin, que l'on connaît respectivement pour leur travail avec Daniel Bélanger et Jorane.

Standing more than 50 shows tall, every where he goes, Damien Robitaille is showered with praises. Winner of the 2005 Francouvertes and discovery of the Déferlantes de Cap-Breton in 2006, this Ontarian grunge crooner proposes his own compositions in French, with deconstructed folk-rock sensibility, on the piano, the guitars and drums. Think Johnny Cash, Gainsbourg, Hank Williams and The Beatles and you get Damien Robitaille's debut album. This album was produced and arranged by Jean-François Lemieux and Simon Godin whom we already know for their work with Daniel Bélanger and Jorane.
