Terry began life singing classical, jazz, music theatre but was beckoned by the Dark Lady of Blues when she fronted her first touring Blues Band at the tender age of 17. Terry found early and great success performing gigs such as Narooma Blues, Thredbo Blues and Moruya Jazz Festivals – at which she held her own with the vocal veterans in the game.

It took ten years between those early shows and the release of her debut album, during which she became one of the hardest working musicians in the game.

Terrys debut single Emotion, released July 2018, went to number one on the iTunes blues charts within hours. The sold out launch that followed proved why Terry has been nicknamed ‘Sydney’s First Lady of Blues’.

Terry’s debut album The Fear of… stunned audiences with its lyrical wit, depth of heart, and timeless musicality. It peaked at number 3 on the iTunes blues charts though the album itself cannot be categorised as just blues. Terry sits somewhere between the country sensibilities of the Tedeschi Trucks Band, the folk of The Waifs, the soulful blues of Bonnie Raitt, and timeless jazz balladeers.
