In 1973, Ezra Idlet, Craig Calvert and Connie Mims started a band named Wheatfield. The band was a key player among the Texas bands from the seventies, at the cusp of the emerging Texas music scene coming out of places like the Armadillo World Headquarters, Kerrville Folk Festival and Liberty Hall. The trio grew with talented players, one of which was Keith Grimwood, who joined them in 1976. Wheatfield, which eventually became known as St. Elmo's Fire, had a good run and then disbanded in 1979. With strong bonds of friendship and a collaborative spirit, the foursome reunited in 2004 to write, record and perform together again, and have enjoyed every minute of it.
