From Grammy®, Emmy® and Academy® Award-winning Steve Martin and Grammy® Award-winning Edie Brickell comes Bright Star, the five-time Tony®-nominated, new Broadway musical that The New York Times called "a shining achievement." Directed by Tony® winner Walter Bobbie and inspired by a real event, this original musical tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s. Propelled by an ensemble of onstage musicians and dancers, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, beautiful melodies and powerfully moving performances. As refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful – Bright Star is “Broadway’s most beautiful show” (WABC).

Versatile instrumentalists and vocalists, they draw from a bottomless well of roots influences to create a vibrant original music that conveys expansive musical vision. With timeless lyrical truth-telling and an unmistakably contemporary sensibility, they stand alongside such roots-conscious acts as the Avett Brothers, Punch Brothers, the Lumineers and Hurray for the Riff Raff. Della Mae is composed of Celia Woodsmith (vocals, guitar), Kimber Ludiker (fiddle, vocals), Jenni Lyn Gardner (mandolin, vocals), Courtney Hartman (guitar, banjo, vocals) and Zoe Guigueno (bass, vocals). “smart and assured, a continuation of the band’s penchant for blurring the lines between bluegrass, folk, soul, and old-time traditions”- The Boston Globe “never failing to deliver punch, soul and emotion in equal measure_ rootsy, prayerful, spiritual almost-a statement of purpose and direction”- Pop Matters “arresting, defiant”-NPR
