Artist Information

Biography

With passion, enthusiasm and hard work, Terry Holder’s songs are getting her noticed and her engaging performances are opening hearts everywhere she goes. Terry is gifted with a voice to break your heart. In her live shows, she has the undeniable ability to charm and connect with her listeners ­­ her soulful songs draw the listener right into the moment.

Terry’s 2001 debut CD, “Am I Here Is This Me,” was originally intended only as a keepsake for her daughters. With the encouragement from those who heard the CD, Terry started playing out. The album of introspective songs garnered sales and critical acclaim and was followed in 2004 by her second CD, "Colored Rooms."

Recognized for her talent as a songwriter, she was selected as a “Kerrville New Folk Finalist” in 2008, 2010 and again in 2011. Terry was also selected to perform as a song writing finalist at the 2011 “Wildflower Arts and Music Festival” in Richardson Texas.

On her last studio CD, “Ticket To The Moment,” she continued to explore her passions through her heartfelt and gutsy songs. This CD delivers her emotionally driven songs around lyrics that take you on a journey with flashes of love, abandon, heartbreak, and social self-awareness.

Terry will be releasing her long awaited fourth studio CD "Flowers At Midnight" in early 2013. She continues to build a loyal following while touring as a duo in concert and at festivals around the country.

“It's very humbling and gratifying when people like your music. If I can touch one person with a song, then I feel that I have accomplished something great in my life.”
