Edie Brickell Bright Star Opens Tonight in Washington

New York, NY (Dec. 27, 2015) -- Such sonically lilting, lyrically vivid numbers as "Won't Go Back," "Always Will," "I Had A Vision" and the winsome title track tap into a rich vein of American storytelling tradition, conveying a wealth of imagery, emotion and irresistibly catchy tunes. The songs also benefit from producer Peter Asher's expansive arrangements, which make imaginative use of a wide array of acoustic and orchestral instrumentation, lending a cinematic quality to the songs' intimate character studies. "I guess that this is the logical sequel to the first album, but it's also different in a lot of ways," Martin states. "It sounds bigger and wider, and it has a lush feeling that I really like. I think that Edie's voice sounds beautiful with these arrangements, and I love the way the banjo sounds with strings. Peter really had a vision for this record, and he really came up with some wonderful things."
"What Peter did was so beautiful," agrees Brickell. "He has a great musical imagination, and he always surprises us. I'm so impressed by his ability to come up with things that feel grand and intimate at the same time. Peter has a really great ability to create something majestic and incorporate that into a traditional-sounding song."So Familiar also features a variety of prominent players from the worlds of bluegrass, folk, pop and rock, including seminal banjo ace B?la Fleck, who is featured on the uplifting "Heart of the Dreamer," along with session bass legend Leland Sklar, Cobra Starship's Victoria Asher, Mike Einziger of Incubus, Emmy-award winning composer/arranger Geoff Zanelli, and Martin's much-acclaimed longtime bluegrass cohorts the Steep Canyon Rangers. So Familiar will include two exclusive bonus tracks when fans order at Barnes & Noble (smarturl.it/So FamiliarBN). In addition, fans who order the album from smart url.it So Familiar Store before November 8th are automatically entered into a drawing for a one-of-a-kind handwritten signed lyric book, a signed specialty screen printed banjo head & Deering banjo as well as a pair of tickets to opening night of "Bright Star" in DC.
