Craig Calvert & Connie Mims have been performing and writing together since they met at Lamar High School in Houston, TX. Their artistic careers began when they co-founded the Houston, Texas-based folk/rock group, “Wheatfield” which later became the group known as “St. Elmo's Fire”. Both bands toured coast-to-coast and abroad, performing at such venues as The Kerrville Folk Festival, Armadillo World Headquarters, Texas Opry House, Liberty Hall and L.A.'s Troubadour, in addition to enjoying a large fan base throughout the national college club circuit.
They appeared in the first season of the PBS series Austin City Limits and co-wrote, toured and performed two original rock ballets, “Caliban” and “Rasputin” with the Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth and Chicago Ballet Companies.
A typical Calvert & Mims show features both memorable songs from the Wheatfield/St. Elmo's Fire era, along with their more recent compositions. Their unique mix of songwriting styles, varied instrumentation and vocal blend, coupled with a genuine love of performing enables them to connect with the audience from the first note.
