Edie Brickell (Lyrics, Music, Original Story)
Following the multi-platinum success of her debut album with New Bohemians in 1988, Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, and then Ghost of a Dog, Brickell settled down and delighted in the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom. She has since written and recorded albums produced by guitar hero Charlie Sexton and with The Gaddabouts, a collaboration with legendaries Steve Gadd, Andy Fairweather Low and Pino Palladino. And she still loves to play and record with her old friends in New Bohemians. Additionally, Brickell began her Song of the Day project in April 2012, writing and posting a song—which she recorded live into her phone—to her website daily for two years. Brickell’s most recent work, a rootsy, 13-track collaboration with Steve Martin titled Love Has Come For You, was released to widespread acclaim. The title track won the Grammy for Best American Roots Song. Combining Martin’s five-string banjo work with Brickell’s distinctive, slightly Southern-sounding vocals. It’s this success that led Brickell and Martin to collaborate yet again, this time on the musical Bright Star.
