Sparks/Reno, Nev. – Going solo with an expanded sense of enthusiasm, coupled with the sensibility that comes from paying her dues, “new country” singer Heidi Newfield is a star on the rise. See her play the Celebrity Showroom on December 5 at John Ascuaga’s Nugget.
Already having made a name for herself as the highly energetic frontwoman of new country trio Trick Pony, Newfield decided upon a solo career, and in November of 2006 announced that she was leaving the group and going it alone. The Healdsburg, CA-raised Newfield was exposed to the music she would make a career out of at an early age. With her love of country, blues, and rock in tow, Newfield made her first attempts at stardom at the very young age of 13, taking a trip to Nashville to cut a demo. In 1996, she joined up with Keith Burns and Ira Dean to form Trick Pony. The group would go on to release a handful of Top 20 singles, and won an ACM Best New Artist Award. After announcing that she was leaving the aforementioned band, Newfield went into the studio to begin work on her debut solo album, a collection of work that was to touch on a number of moods and styles. "Johnny and June," the big single from What Am I Waiting For, was a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot Country charts in 2008.
Heidi Newfield plays December 5 at 8 p.m. in the Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuaga’s Nugget. Tickets are $30, and are available by calling (800) 648-1177 or (775) 356-3300 or by visiting janugget.com. Dinner and show packages are available. “Do the Nugget Tonight!”
