About Me
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Juice Newton, with her string of pop and country hits, her distinctive voice and performance skills, 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 SpurGrowing 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.
