Born and raised in Denton, Texas, just north of Dallas and Fort Worth.  From 15 years old Terry Dan would spend the rest of his life writing songs and performing.  Pursuing a career in music, Terry moved to the Northeast where he built an enthusiastic following by playing in clubs throughout New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New York, releasing several records through his independent label, and achieving independent chart success.  Terry and his wife Charlotte moved to Nashville in the early 90s to get involved in the Country Music scene, writing songs, pitching to publishers and exploring writers’ nights around town.  But, after several years, he hung up his guitar and built a successful career as a software developer.  In 2019, Terry discovered a process enabling him to restore crumbling analog tapes that he has now digitized, remixed and remastered.  Now, he has released four albums and 10 singles.

Retired from the corporate world, Terry has refocused on his music.  No longer in Nashville, Terry has rebuilt a home studio in Florida where he and his wife, Charlotte now live, continuing to write, record and release new music.

Terry’s new album, “Like It Or Not,” released on July 12, 2024, is a country blues collection with mostly originals and a few fun covers.  You can find the album “Like It Or Not” and other Terry Dan releases on all the major music streaming services.
