What Did You Leave

Terry grew up in Appalachia, where he was exposed at an early age to roots, blues and gospel music. During his young years, Terry spent a great deal of time alone, and he filled that time with music.  Some of his favorites were  Jerry Lee Lewis and  Elvis.
Terry’s first love was the drums, which he would bang on when his brother’s band wasn’t rehearsing. He then became enamored with  the guitar. 
Legend has it that his Uncle Paul played bluegrass music on the radio.  When Terry asked U Paul to teach him to play guitar, Uncle Paul said, “watch”.  And watch he did.

He listened to and watched the greats. John Hiatt, Keith Richards, Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed, Blind Willie McTell, Lightnin’ Hopkins, to name a few.  As he grew, he took the best  of what he heard and felt from the greats to create his own style and sound. “They played the blues on guitar or piano, just themselves. They were the music. Just a voice and an instrument.” 
Terry left home at 19 to play the “hotel circuit” in a band playing top 40’s. He then was in a succession of bands, playing blues and rock and roll. 
After tiring of the band life, Terry decided to try his hand at solo blues. His interpretations of the greatest blues works were critically acclaimed. He  recorded his first CD, Trouble in Mind , in 1991, which was followed by four more solo blues albums. His work has received excellent reviews from Living Blues and many others. 
Terry became known internationally as a master slide and acoustic guitarist. He is one of the most innovative and praised contemporary blues and roots musicians. Terry’s meticulous finger-picking and driving percussive foot-stomping unite with his vocal prowess to create an evocative, engaging transformation. 

He is included in the following books-
     “Blues:Keeping the Faith Alive” by Keith Shadwick
     “All Music Guide to the Blues” by Michael Erlewine
     “The Big Book of Blues” by Robert Santelli 
Support act for-
     Ray Charles
     BB King
     Johnny Winter
     Leon Russell
     Dr. John


For many years, Terry was becoming restless and considered returning to electric rock and roll with a blues influence. He has now done that, with release of  “Rewired”. 
“Rewired “ is all original rock and roll recorded at the Rockhouse in Nashville, TN. Kevin McKendree produced, and  played piano and organ (plus a touch of guitar and vocals), Glenn Worf on bass, Kenneth Blevins on drums, and of course Terry on guitar and vocals.
