Bio
Terry is a singer who loves to create, produce, and perform in shows for large & medium venues, and he loves singing the Great American Songbook in a small club or restaurant, most often in the places he loves…Savannah, Ga., Hilton Head, Beaufort and Charleston, S.C. where he has a big following, or as far away as Atlanta, Jacksonville and Charlotte. Terry performs with just a Pianist, a small Combo, a 13 piece Dance Band, and on occasion a full 17 piece Jazz Concert Orchestra.
He’s also well-known in the Georgia & South Carolina coastal areas for his ‘Theme Shows’. These concerts feature other top singers and musicians, and include music history & trivia, audience participation and good humor. Recently, his shows have sold out at USCB-Center for the Arts, Country Club of Hilton Head, Hampton Hall, The Landings, the Hilton Head Rotary Annual Concert and Altobeli’s in Atlanta.
Terry says by the age of 12 he was already ‘addicted’ to Swing, Jazz & Big Band, and started his own 13 piece Dance Band in high school, both as a singer, band director and playing Alto Sax & Clarinet. He imagined himself as a sort of Benny Goodman, Paul Desmond, Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme’ all wrapped into one ! He says “trust me, I wasn’t confused, but my parents were”.
While nobody has quite the same ‘swagger’ as Sinatra, Terry says “I do it My Way when I’m on stage”, and the results are great entertainment, as you can see from the Reviews on this web site. If you look closely at this site, you’ll see several show-themes and songs he’s noted for, with styles & inspiration from Michael Buble’, Harry Connick Jr., Neil Diamond, Sinatra and Bobby Darin. Take a listen to a few of Terry’s songs. People say his voice is easy to listen to, and his style expresses the lyrics with true meaning to the listener.
“I love music, singing and performing, and I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.”
