New Bohemians

By Diamond Victoria Along with Erykah Badhu, Edie Brickell is one of the most iconic female musicians to come out of Dallas. She and her three-piece band, New Bohemians, became staples in the world of alternative rock during the late '80s and early '90s with hits such as "What I Am." The band broke up for a while when Brickell married singer-songwriter Paul Simon, but they reunited in 2006 and released the album Stranger Things. And this week, beginning Friday and ending Sunday, Edie Brickell and New Bohemians play the Kessler Theater for a benefit for the nonprofit music school La Rondalla Oak Cliff.
