Long BIO
A recovering introvert. That is how Terry has described himself in the past. Not that introversion needs to be recovered from, it's just that he has inched slowly out of his shell. This was primarily out of necessity as he had to learn to network and actually talk with people... you know, the kind that actually want to have a conversation. In sixth grade, his teacher had everyone go around the room and share what their favorite radio station was. When it got to me I said "I don't listen to radio, I listed to my albums." His mom had the radio on every morning, listening to CKLW. In retrospect, he found it it funny listening to a Canadian radio station when he was just outside of Detroit. It was either that or "Honey Radio", the oldies station where he got his appreciation for Motown, and the Beatles. Watching the Beatles cartoons on TV, and recording them from the TV speaker to his portable cassette recorder was a common occurrence. This was his introduction to recording... telling everyone to shut up so he wouldn't hear the chatter over the Beatles when he played it back! This was also the time he asked for my first instrument... a snare drum. It wasn't until Terry was 10 or 11 that his Grandpa bought him his first guitar. He remembers his Grandpa walking out with the guitar when they were lining up for a Christmas photo. He had to pick his jaw up off the floor. He was so excited! But the guitar had to wait as Terry played percussion in Junior High, and High School symphonic band, and marching band in High School and one year of college . But being a geek-major (computer science) required too much time to pursue music. After moving out to California and joining a band at 28, Terry rekindled his desire to create music and play again. He played in a 60s-90s cover band for 10 years called Edgars House. This is where he wrote two of the songs (Poem first, then Pretend a few years later) on his debut album Fruitless Pursuits. Now, later in life, the creativity is returning with the aforementioned EP released in April 2021, and several new singles released in 2022. You may hear undertones of the Beatles, REM, Toad the Wet Sprocket, or even the Goo Goo Dolls in Terry's music. Drums, Bass, Guitar, a little synth and harmonies wind their way through these alternative rock songs. |
