EdieBrickell and NewBohemians are a jam band that originated in Texas in the mid-1980s.
The NewBohemians started as a 3 piece ska-style band in the early eighties, cutting their teeth in the new Deep Ellum neighborhood in downtown Dallas.
The NewBohemians have released compilations and a live album, and have recorded some new material in recent years, notably as a short-lived band named The Slip that included Brickell, but most former members have moved on to other projects.
EdieBrickell (born March 10, 1966 in Dallas, (Oak Cliff) Texas) is an American singer/songwriter.
In the late 1980s Brickell was the lead singer with the (now renamed) folk-rock group EdieBrickell and NewBohemians, whose 1988 debut album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars was a critical and commercial success.
Brickell had a role as a folk singer in the 1989 film, Born on the Fourth of July.
