Shane Terry

Shane Terry is a singer/songwriter/guitarist raised and living in British Columbia, currently emerging into the local Vancouver music scene, and studying jazz guitar and voice at Vancouver Community College. As a finalist of the 2024 Shipyards Got Talent Solo Competition, Shane is comfortable taking the stage either on his own, or backed by the Shane Terry Band.

Following the singer/songwriter tradition, Shane intertwines his views on life with singable melodies, easy-listening jazz harmonies, and a touch of lyrical self-awareness. He performed at his local Dairy Queen (his first paid gig!) at 16 years of age, and has now moved onto larger venues, performing at The Roxy, The Cobalt, and other local stages.

The guitar-heavy pop music of Shane Terry is a testament to his love for the blues, jazz, and other American popular music, which were all manifested in his debut single “Won’t Stay Long”. As a young teenager, Shane enjoyed practicing his guitar in his bedroom until his fingers could no longer take it, at times playing upwards of ten hours in a single day.

Currently, Shane is finishing his studies at VCC, and in the process of recording and releasing high quality professional compositions. He looks forward to creating music to inspire others, in the same way that his favourite music inspired him.
