Biography

Heidi Newfield was born October 4, 1970, in Healdsburg, California. By age 13, she had decided to pursue a career in country music. In 1996, she joined Keith Burns and Ira Dean to form the group Trick Pony.[3] Newfield recorded three albums as a member of Trick Pony: Trick Pony (2001), On a Mission (2003) and R.I.D.E. (2005). These albums accounted for eight singles on the Billboard country charts, including the group's highest peaking, the #4 "On a Night Like This," from 2001. Newfield sang lead vocals on most of the group's songs, including every single except, "Just What I Do." She also played rhythm guitar and harmonica and co-wrote several songs on each album. Newfield announced her departure from Trick Pony in 2006.[4]

Newfield's first work outside of Trick Pony was as a guest vocalist on Cledus T. Judd's cover of the Ray Stevens song, "Gitarzan," featured on Judd's 2007 album, Boogity, Boogity - A Tribute to the Comedic Genius of Ray Stevens. Later that same year, Newfield began recording her solo album for Curb Records, the same label to which Trick Pony was signed from 2004 to 2008.[5] Her debut single, "Johnny & June," entered the country charts in early 2008, followed by the release of her Tony Brown-produced debut album, What Am I Waiting For, in August of that year. "Johnny & June" peaked at #11 on the country charts, in late-September 2008, and was followed a month later by, "Cry Cry ('Til the Sun Shines)", which was originally recorded by Martina McBride on her 2007 album, Waking Up Laughing.
