Edie Brickell

After her breakthrough with New Bohemians, one solo album, and a nearly 10-year break, Steve Gadd encouraged Edie to record again. From the soulful Gaddabouts to the guitar great Charlie Sexton on to the bluegrass of Steve Martin (they also wrote the Tony-nominated Broadway musical, Bright Star) with Steep Canyon Rangers (Edie and Woody wrote “The Test of Time” nominated for International Bluegrass song of the year) to the brass and electronic music of Heavy Make Up, she has loved playing in different sounding bands. When Edie and Matt found themselves touring together again as part of Paul Simon’s Quiet Celebration tour, they realized it had been too long since they’d played music together! Matt had the idea to bring Kaveh and Mason into the studio with them for six days just to play and see what would come of it. What happened next was pure magic. World Famous Pets was born.
