From the moment she stepped on stage, Newfield (former lead singer of Trick Pony) made it clear that she isn’t your typical blonde “girl singer.” With harmonica in hand, she tackled a bluesy, soulful cover of Lucinda Williams’ “Can’t Let Go.” Her seasoned voice was strong, with just enough edge, and she shined on songs like “Cry, Cry (’Till the Sun Shines),” her latest single, and her debut “Johnny and June.”

Newfield’s material was nothing more than average contemporary country fare, but she still managed to let her personality shine through. The self-proclaimed “story of my life” song, “What Am I Waiting For” was full of energy and attitude.

To close her set, Newfield rattled off an impressive extended harmonica solo before blasting into her old Trick Pony hit, “Pour Me.” Some might say that the harmonica is a gimmick, but it’s a nice addition that sets Newfield apart from her younger peers.

Regardless, with the right material, Newfield could (or at least should) consistently put out top ten singles. She certainly has the live performance to back it up.

Gary Allan Stage Surprise

from Country Weekly

Gary Allan and his fans got an exciting surprise at Gary’s KICKS 101.5 Country Jam 2008 show in Alpharetta, Ga., when a beautiful blonde stepped in to join Gary and his band for an encore performance.

Heidi Newfield took the stage unannounced and played harmonica on Gary’s song, “Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey”. Heidi and Gary are good friends who once toured together on the 2002 Brooks & Dunn Neon Circus tour. Since Heidi was also on the bill for the Alpharetta show, she felt right at home joining the band. When asked about Heidi’s surprise appearance, Gary noted, “Heidi’s a super talent and she can jam with us anytime.”
