WHEATFIELD

About Me

Wheatfield began in 1973 in Houston, Texas, with Ezra Idlet, Craig Calvert and Connie Mims. The trio quickly established themselves at the forefront of the then emerging Texas music scene and continued to stretch their musical influences from country, bluegrass and folk into jazz and rock genres as they added bassist Bob Russell in 1974 and drummer/percussionist Damian Hevia in 1975. The group toured extensively until 1976, when they changed their name and musical direction into the band St. Elmos Fire, which disbanded in 1979. As of 2007, the touring and recording entity known as WHEATFIELD is: Craig Calvert- vocals, guitar, mandolin, flute; Ezra Idlet- vocals, guitar, banjo; Connie Mims- vocals, guitar, percussion; Keith Grimwood- vocals, bass.
