Newfield performs at Welcome Reception

Newfield is perhaps best known her for her hit single,
“Johnny and June,” which peaked at No. 11 on the country
charts in September 2008.
From 1996 to 2006, Newfield was lead singer, rhythm
guitarist and harmonica player for the group Trick Pony.
As a solo artist and songwriter, she had several hits in
addition to “Johnny and June”, including "Cry Cry” ('Til the
Sun Shines) and “What Am I Waiting For.”
Newfield grew up on a horse farm in Healdsburg, Calif., and
her mother nurtured her love of country music.
“Every trail ride, every horse show and rodeo was set to a
soundtrack of Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and all
the great traditionalists,” she recalls.
Later -- to her mother’s dismay -- Heidi’s two older sisters
turned her on to the great rock bands of the 60’s and 70’s,
including The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and AC\DC. Heidi
also fell in love with traditional blues, and began playing
the harmonica at an early age, attracted by what she calls
“the most lonesome sound on the planet.”
Don’t miss Newfield’s performance at the 2010 Central Plains
Dairy Expo.
