The energetic, honky-tonk band Trick Pony will look you straight in the eye and lay down its new album, R.I.D.E. Ira Dean, Keith Burns, and Heidi Newfield are rebellious individuals delivering entertainment. Mixing their sound with lyrics that reflect past challenges, you can expect to hear hits and tracks from R.I.D.E.
The musicians' journey began in 1996 and sparked by three singles, Trick Pony's first album exploded in 2001. Now with two albums and R.I.D.E. to be released August 23, Trick Pony has earned awards from both the Academy of Country Music and the American Music Awards. Their roots, the source of energy throughout R.I.D.E. will keep them moving wherever they go. As Heidi says "I'm never going to be Celine Dion. I'm a honky-tonker, down to the core. We're a honky-tonk band. And if that means that we get a little bit raunchy, if it means we talk about drinkin' and cheatin' or about being in love and we sing it from the heart in a stone cold country song, well, I'm proud of that. We've never done all of that better than we've done on R.I.D.E."
