Being born into a household that frowned on music by a domineering father, Terry found his escape in the world of dance. As a promising young star, he was offered a scholarship to Brigham Young University at the age of 14.
Not wanting to cut his hair, Terry did an about face and embraced a musical career of singing and playing drums in rock and roll bands. This started a spiral into the dark side of music which included playing in witches' covens and the excessive lifestyle of a successful musician of that time period. After a courageous battle with heroin and cocaine, Terry re-emerged, avowing to stand against the excesses that tear at the fabric of integrity of America.
His musical career of 30 plus years include appearances with Robert Cray, NRPS, Charlie Daniels, Mel McDaniel, Chris LeDoux,Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Mad Matt "Guitar" Murphy of Blues Bros. fame, to name a few. 23 album appearances and 2 executive producer credits also grace his list.
Terry co-parent's his teen age daughter, who has bright future in the world of fine arts.
