In addition to her husband and Travis and his brother Lindy, the Thanatopsis drummer Ramy Antoun, Tony Brock ( The Babies ) and Dustin Boyer (including guitarist for Jennifer Love Hewitt ) also worked on the album. Even before the release of The Great Divide , she was working on the sequel More Sex, Less Violence . She is organized in the National Organization for Women and headed the local chapter in Long Beach.

Camille Bright-Smith is married to the musician John Bright and has two children (twins) with him. She is related by marriage to the women's rights activist Susie Bright through her husband .
