Band Members: Her new CD "As I Am" is now available!!
Terri's CD "99 Miles" from Terri and The T-Bones was released in 2000. It is for sale here!
Her music is authentic American, utilizing the roots of Blues and Jazz in her songwriting. Her melodies are strong and memorable, showing her versatility as both singer and songwriter. Terri captures audiences with her combination of Blues and Jazz, in an Adult Contemporary format, with a hint of Pop. She loves mixing genres and believes music should never be predictable, and that the melodies should carry the song. She writes lyrics with soul and passion, describing her triumphs and heart-aches, with personal honesty and truth.
She has been described as "a girl with pipes to die for", (Jon Pepper, Southland Blues, June 1998).
After nearly twenty years in the Los Angeles Blues-scene, Terri gained strength and confidence as a stage performer. In 2000, her band Terri and The T-Bones released "99 Miles", Terri's first CD.
The CD received critical acclaim and international airplay.
