About Me

Terry Rand has been playing guitar and singing original songs since 1992. His music was first presented primarily in a solo, acoustic format in coffeehouses and festivals throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts and then branched out into an electric based, four piece rock band. His songwriting style runs across different musical genres including country, folk, pop and roots rock. Although acoustic music is deep in his musical roots he is very much at home playing with other musicians and turning up the volume on his guitar. The current lineup of The Terry Rand Band includes long time musical collaborator Rich Gordon (lead guitar), Jeff Slicer (bass) and Emmett Hale (drums). Past collaborators include Peter Anthony, Mike Mastracchio, Bob Bowmar and Jay Wood.Terry would like to add, "A huge Thanks goes out to all collaborators, past and present. The work we have all done together over the years has shaped these songs since their birth on an acoustic guitar and for that I am forever endebted to you all, especially Rich Gordon who has always been there for me and has always believed in my art and has always put the music first......plus, he just fuckin' rocks on guitar." CD recordings are available at Terry's shows. Terry Rand also plays rythym guitar/backup vocals in his brother Steve's band, The Caroline Know.
