Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

Edie Brickell & New Bohemians is an alternative rock jam band best known for their 1988 hit "What I Am" from the album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars. Their music contains elements of rock, folk, blues, and jazz. Following the release of their 1990 second album Ghost of a Dog, lead singer Edie Brickell married singer-songwriter Paul Simon after leaving the band.

The New Bohemians started as a 3 piece ska-style band in the early 1980s. The original line-up featured Brad Houser on bass, Eric Presswood on guitar, and Brandon Aly on drums. The additional core members joined in 1985. Edie became the singer after being encouraged to join the band onstage during a show.

The "New Bos" were always a local favorite, packing in the fans at now famous Deep Ellum venues such as Theater Gallery, 500 Cafe, and Club Dada. The Bohemians were also regular performers at the annual Fry Street Fair on the University of North Texas campus in Denton, Texas. During this period of the band's history, Edie's name was not used in the band's name.

In recent years, the New Bohemians have released compilations and a live album and have recorded new material. In the mid-1990s Brickell, Bush and Withrow reunited as The Slip. In 2006, the current members reunited to record and tour with the release of Stranger Things.
