Following their 2014 reunion, duo Trick Pony (Ira Dean split from the band shortly after the reunion) are announcing their highly anticipated new EP, Pony Up, set to be released via Sony RED on February 26^th.

In 2001, Trick Pony hit the country radio scene. They cranked out several hits including their self-penned debut single and still ever catchy “Pour Me,” followed by “On A Night Like This,” “Just What I Do,” “On A Mission,” their Top 20 cover of Bonnie Tyler’s 70’s hit “It’s A Heartache” and more. They released three albums, both on Warner Brothers Records and then on Curb Records during that time frame. Trick Pony (2001) On A Mission (2002) and RIDE (2005).

1. Everybody Wanna Be Us
2. Feels That Way Again

Trick Pony To Get Back Together Again

Trick Pony, formed in 1996 by Keith Burns (lead guitar, vocals), Ira Dean (bass guitar, upright bass, vocals), and Heidi Newfield (lead vocals, harmonica, acoustic guitar), recorded three studio albums: Trick Pony, On a Mission and R.I.D.E., released in 2001, 2002 and 2005, respectively. These albums produced eight charted singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including four Top 20 hits: "Pour Me," "On a Night like This," "Just What I Do" and "On a Mission."

But in 2006, Newfield departed for a solo career, and a failed experiment with a replacement singer named Aubrey Collins lasted only a year before the group disbanded after Collins and Dean left in 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Now, almost a decade later, the original trio of Burns, Dean and Newfield are getting the band back together and will launch a brand new website making the official announcement later today. The trio has been making social media "teases" over the last 24 hours but dates are booked already in clubs on what will be called The Reunion Tour:
