Terry Douglas Band

A mix of classic country, honky-tonk, and old school rock & roll. Terry Douglaswas born in Cleveland, OH, so his love for music started early. He received an acoustic guitar from his uncle, as a Christmas gift, at 8 years old. Music, for him, seemed to be the only constant in his life. Terry's first real gig, was that of a guitar player for a rock band in Akron, OH. Shortly after, he put music on the back burner, but always felt that music was what he was meant to do. Once life happened, he started working in restaurants, eventually moving into the IT field. He realized the years were passing, and his music dream was slowly fading away. Terry knew he had to do something; so he picked up his guitar, started writing, started playing more, and eventually booking his own solo shows.
Shortly after that, Terry decided to release a handful of songs on ReverbNation , thus catching the eye of a label, who wanted to help him market his music. Little did he know, the label would be a blessing, and a curse. Under the label, Terry released "Living the Dream" in 2014.Before heN knew it, the label was no longer progressing forward, and eventually ended in bankruptcy, leaving Terry on his own to push his music.
During his music progression, he met and married his beautiful wife, Bethany, and they had darling children. Life was going great until he found himself drinking too much. After a run in with the law, he decided to stop drinking the next day. He started opening up more, writing about his feelings, personal experiences and beliefs. From those ideas, came the album "Written in the Parking Lot" (2017). It was a collection of songs about love, life and things that were real. Six months after its release, Terry had three songs on the Top 20 of Nashville's Country Charts, two of those landing in the top five.
“The Devil You Don’t Know”(2019), dug a little deeper into the sober mind of Terry. Songs such as the title track “The Devil You Don’t Know”, “I Think I Need Your Help” written by Ron Speaks, and “Changing”, showed the reflections on all the times he had messed up in the past, realizing that alcohol was the root of all of those problems. He realized he was growing into someone who was miles away from his old life
In 2020, Terry wrote a new Album “ Through the Storm” Released in November of 2020 the first single Tattoos, went out to country radio and gained spins on about 80 FM stations, The Follow up single and title track “Through the Storm “ has been streamed over 100K times on Spotify and the video has been viewed over 50K times between YouTube and Facebook. The next single is Small Town USA, a song about growing up in a small town and how people survive. The album in whole tells a story, the story about mid-west blue collar people.
Terry and the band are heading into the studio in November on 2021 to record the next album.
Currently, Terry has built his band, The Terry Douglas Band, consisting of Terry Douglas (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Dave Parks (lead guitar, back up vocals), Craig Nelson (rhythm guitar), Billy Compton (drums/percussion, back up vocals), Jerry Miller (steel guitar), and Wolf Waggoner (bass).
