Anthony Terry

Bio:

born in Philadelphia, is an artist to take note of. His signature sound and range, especially on the tenor saxophone, will capture your attention from the very first note he plays. From soul to jazz to fusion to gospel to contemporary popular music, Anthony’s versatile style appeals to a wide range of musical tastes. In 1982, at the age of twenty-one years old, Anthony left James Madison University to pursue his calling as a professional musician, ending up in Northern Virginia with The Sparkplugs. In 1989, he formed his own band. Tony Terry and Clockwork performed contemporary jazz covers and original music. After more than a year of successful dates in and around Washington, D.C., he disbanded Clockwork to pursue freelance work, and to dedicate more of his time to the original music projects, Egypt, and later Double Digit. Anthony's devotion to his craft and his singular style of playing have led to openings for such artists as the Kinks, the Busboys, Steppenwolf, Junior Walker and the All Stars, Denice Williams, Natalie Cole, and Spyro Gyra, among others. He has toured the United States and Europe, shared his talents on recordings with Yasmeen, Double Digit, Anthony Archer, Forte', Manny Fresh, Mel Waiters, Hamilton Loomis, and has performed live with Motown legend El DeBarge. In 1994, he moved to Houston, Texas and is currently working as a successful freelance musician, playing soprano, tenor, and baritone saxes, along with MIDI wind synth, and vocals. Anthony continues to work with a variety of musical artist and styles all over the country and abroad.
