JUICE NEWTON
With
her string of pop and country hits, her distinctive voice and
performance skills, Juice Newton continues to captivate
audiences from teens to grandparents, from the city to the
country. As one music critic stated, "Newton remains one of
the most riveting performers in music, rocking on stage and
playing each emotion for what it's worth. And it's worth a
lot."
Juice grew up in Virginia Beach, where her Navy upbringing
exposed her to a variety of musical influences. She could be found
singing in area coffee houses developing her emotional, heartfelt
delivery. She went west for college and formed a folk-rock trio in
Northern California with Otha Young. The trio developed a large
following and became known as Silver Spur.
Growing in popularity, Silver Spur ventured to Los Angeles,
where after constant work in area clubs, they signed to RCA
Records, recording 2 acclaimed, but under promoted albums. That
experience led them to Capitol records where Juice finally broke
through with such hits as "Angel of the
Morning", "Queen of Hearts" and her first
country hit, "The Sweetest Thing".
Through the mid 80's, she followed these hits with "Break
It To Me Gently", which won her a Grammy, "Love's
Been A Little Bit Hard On Me" and "A
Little Love". A second signing with RCA produced a
string of top 10 country hits such as "You
Want To Make You Mine", "Hurt", "Old
Flame", "Cheap Love", "Both To Each
Other", "Tell Me True" and "What
Can I Do With My Heart?".
An accomplished equestrian, Juice competes whenever she can in
polo matches, jumping and pleasure riding. Not only does she
compete, but she often sings the National Anthem, competes in
celebrity polo games, and often is assisting or cheering her
husband, Tom Goodspeed, a nationally ranked professional on the
polo circuit.
Music, horses, and most importantly, family define Juice.
Juice, Tom and their children Jessica and Tyler live in San Diego.
Of course, Mom is frequently on the road, entertaining audiences
across the globe. Juice's stage show is energetic, passionate and
fun.
Juice and her band take the audience on an emotion filled
ride from the stirring stillness of "The Sweetest Thing"
to the rollicking "Love's Been a Little bit Hard on
Me", with a big dose of other Juice favorites as well as her ever
expanding repertoire.
