Never
Out Of Style....
Juice
Newton known for her impact on the pop, as well as the country music
scene, exhibits diversity in her music as well as her stage show. Juice
keeps her performances varied with the energy of her top-notch touring
band, and the intimacy of an acoustic setting. Otha Young, Juice's longtime
musical partner and songwriter, said, "With the band we have now
can give the audience the full spectrum of Juice's music."
That spectrum is wide but identifiable. Juice Newton, through her pop
and country hits, her distinctive voice and entertaining performance
skills, continues to captivate audiences from teens to grandparents,
from the city to the country. As a 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's musical tastes were developed early. She 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 folk songs. Juice went west for college and
formed a folk-rock trio in Northern California. The trio developed a
large following and became known as Silver Spur. Otha Young, Juice's
longtime partner and songwriter was also a member of this eclectic,
unique trio.
Because of their growing popularity, Silver Spur was told to go south.
No, not to Nashville, but to Los Angeles, where after constant work
in area clubs, they were signed to RCA. Their experience with RCA led
them to Capitol records where Juice made her mark with such hits as
"Angel of the Morning," "Queen of Hearts", and her
first country hit, "The Sweetest Thing." Through the mid-eighties,
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?".
"Newton
remains one of the most riveting performers in country music, any music,
rocking on stage and playing each emotion for what it's worth".
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.
