McGonigel's Mucky Duck presents Wheatfield.

Wheatfield began in 1972 in Houston, Texas, with Connie Mims, Ezra Idlet, and Craig Calvert. The three original members met during a talent show at Lamar High School in Houston Texas. When they began performing together professionally in 1973, luck was on their side as they almost immediately began to land really cool gigs. One evening, while playing a private party, Wheatfield was invited to play in The Virgin Islands.

After 6 weeks in St. Croix, they came back tighter and determined to conquer the Texas music scene. 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. Wheatfield worked the clubs, festivals and concert venues that year between Houston, Austin and the surrounding areas, learning their craft and honing their skills.
