    Artist History
    Terry Halstead discovered guitar in 1961 when he heard an LP by Chet Atkins. He was hooked! From then on he searched for records by all the masters of the day, spending literally all of his discretionary time locked in his room, strapped to his guitar,listening and learning. “I actually wore holes in those old LPs trying to comp licks”, he admits. Through the end of the 60’s and the 70’s he played rock and blues, being featured on a number of records. It wasn’t until the early 90’s though that he really defined his own style of “melodic jazz”.
