Terry Garland is known internationally as a master slide and acoustic guitarist. The artist’s impassioned songs, rare musical insight and depth make him one of the most innovative and praised contemporary blues and roots musicians. Terry’s meticulous finger-picking and driving percussive foot-stomping unite with his vocal prowess to create an evocative, engaging transformation.
Born in Johnson City, Tn., Terry’s musical roots were pioneered by forefathers of the blues. During his youth, he studied the sounds of Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed, Blind Willie McTell, Howlin’ Wolf and Lightnin’Hopkins, who inspired him to follow his calling. “They played the blues on guitar or piano, just themselves. They were the music. Just a voice and an instrument.” Terry was further inspired by Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Keith Richards, who helped him find his own sound. In April, 2010, Terry teamed up with harpist Li’l Ronnie to record a live CD, “Live at the Canal Club-Terry Garland and Li’l Ronnie”, which was released in January, 2011.
Presently, Terry is in the studio working on his next project, which will be a return to some of his original musical direction in a way that may surprise and delight his fans!
