Press Quotes:
“This band has prevailing well-adorned musical swells in their seas….what they’ll need one day is a guest spot with the likes of Alison Krauss–they have that dynamic.” John Apice, Americana Highways January 11, 2022
Video Premiere of “Fire in the Wind”–“This song will leave your heart racing, despite the cathartic and calming effect of the music.” Melissa Clarke, Americana Highways January 17, 2022
“Terry Family’s ‘Hometown Tragedies’ has instrumentation resonating with cultivated old-English traditions throughout, in which lushly orchestrated tributaries bring forth a plethora of musical gossamer akin to bands such as Curved Air, The Watersons and even Fairport Convention.” Anne Carlini, Exclusive Magazine, February 1, 2022
“Terry Family’s ‘Hometown Tragedies’ has a lot of food for the soul. The musicianship is excellent, same with the production. It is comprised of songs of beauty and conscience, is inspiring artistically, but more important, it inspires human decency and kindness.” Baruch Zeichner, Paradigms Podcast/Radio
“Terry Family’s outstanding bluegrass music is combined with poignant lyrics about our lives and the important issues of society’s current era. Earth and sky. Light and easy versus strong and deep. These are the diverse qualities of their new album Hometown Tragedies.” Ruby Slippers, Click Your Heels Together, March 2022
