Edie Brickell & New Bohemians were an alternative rock band from Texas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They are best known for their 1988 hit "What I Am" from the album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars. Combining elements of rock and folk, their sound has been compared to R.E.M., another Southern college radio band of the same era. After their 1990 sophomore effort Ghost of a Dog, the Bohemians broke up. Lead singer Edie Brickell married folk singer Paul Simon after leaving the band.

The New Bohemians have released compilations and a live album, and have recorded some new material in recent years, notably as a short-lived band named Slip that included Brickell, but most former members have moved on to other projects. Chamberlain has been an in-demand tour drummer with bands ranging from Pearl Jam and Garbage to Tori Amos and Fiona Apple, as well as a stint on the Saturday Night Live house band.
