Terry's songs range from the deeply personal to the political, but all are infused with heartfelt stories and lyrics that reflect a poet’s sensibility and a keen eye for life.  She has won awards for her warm, soulful voice, and has performed live in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Russia.  Her original songs have been played on the radio in Washington, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, and Tennessee.  

Terry’s inspiration for songwriting comes out of a full and quirky life path that has included stints as a union organizer, motel maid, waitress, cook, dishwasher, Ph.D. program drop-out, small business owner, junk mail carrier, non-profit director, office temp worker, accountant, and employment agency counselor/recruiter.
