Recently honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences with a Governor’s Award special Oscar, he is also a GRAMMY-winning, boundary-pushing bluegrass banjoist and songwriter.Įdie Brickell initially burst onto the national scene in the late 1980s fronting the New Bohemians, and has since carved out an iconoclastic solo career that's solidified her reputation as a uniquely compelling singer and a songwriter of rare insight.Īlthough these new musical partners have already built widely respected individual bodies of work, their inaugural collaboration is a creative milestone.
Steve Martin is now in the fifth decade of a varied and accomplished career as a comic, actor, musician, author and playwright. The deluxe two-disc CD/DVD package, also titled "Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers featuring Edie Brickell Live," contains two hours of comedy and music including four previously unreleased tracks: “Pretty Little One, “ “Auden's Train,” “The Dance at the Wedding,” and “Katie Mae.” Pre-orders available HERE. With music supervision by the renowned Peter Asher (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor), the concert features material from Martin and Brickell's GRAMMY-winning collaborative album "Love Has Come For You" as well as songs from “Rare Bird,” Martin’s highly acclaimed GRAMMY-winning project with the Steep Canyon Rangers in addition to music from his GRAMMY-winning solo album “The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo.” Highlighting Martin’s unique blend of comedy and bluegrass, this extraordinary live performance was taped in stunning HD and recorded in crystal clear 5.1 audio at the historic Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, California in the fall of 2013. In addition, on March 11th, 2014, Rounder Records will release a deluxe two-disc CD/DVD package documenting this special event.
