Born in London and raised in Los Angeles, singer/songwriter/poet Terence Martin moved East in 1997 to become part of the flourishing NY acoustic music scene. His musical background includes performing as a double bassist in the Burbank Symphony and in several touring rock bands. Also a published poet, his poetry is included in the anthology, “Four Valley Poets.”
Terence’s latest CD, Lost Hills, brings his insightful songwriting and performance to a new level. It has received excellent reviews and national radio airplay on over 150 stations. Terence’s songs flow with hauntingly poetic images and elements of folk, blues and country. “Whether he is singing about the theft of Hank Williams' tombstone, a journey through the "lost hills" of the south San Joaquin mountains with Dylan playing on the radio, or a sleepless night with the melody of an old Santo and Johnny song wafting through the window, Martin is an extraordinarily skillful writer whose powerful songs are impossible to forget”, says Charlie Backfish of WUSB radio.
Lost Hills showcases a stellar ensemble of musicians including Will Lee on bass (Late show with David Letterman), Clifford Carter on piano (James Taylor), Radoslov Lorkovic on accordion (Greg Brown, Richard Shindell) and Billy Masters on guitar (Suzanne Vega; Cry, Cry, Cry). The album features 11 Martin originals and a cover of the late Warren Zevon’s “Mutineer.”
Terence’s debut CD, Division Street, the follow-up Waterproof, and 2003’s Sleeper have all received excellent reviews and national radio airplay. "Familiar Mysteries”, a song from Waterproof, was selected for the title track on the second CD from the Garland Appeal, the charity for breast cancer research started in memory of Linda McCartney and sanctioned by Paul.
Terence has shared the stage with an impressive line-up of national acts, including Rosanne Cash, Roger McGuinn, Christine Lavin, Dar Williams, and Richie Havens. He was a featured performer in the Emerging Artist Showcase at the 2003 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and performed on the Most Wanted Stage at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
Terence has also been a finalist in the 2006 Mountain Stage New Song Contest and performed at the 2006 Boston Folk Festival in September..
