About Me

The Monterey Fire was created by Terrance White in late 2005 as a vehicle for the musical ideas that have always been floating in his head. The Monterey Fire embodies a variety of influences ranging from rock, pop, electronica, blues, funk, and more, blended into a unique brand of intense, soulful, personal, honest music that is not always found in the mainstream.

In addition to his work with The Monterey Fire, Terrance is also lead guitarist of the band Gritch . The Denver, Colorado based band is quickly building a following and is poised to make its mark on the musical landscape with their "catchy vocal melodies and love sick lyrics that blend into pop-sensible, hook-filled music with well placed electronic elements that push the envelope and demands the listener's attention."
