   About Harlan Lee Terson
Harlan Terson has been a familiar figure on Chicago's musical landscape for more than thirty years, recording and touring internationally with some of Chicago's great blues artists. He has played bass on more than thirty five recordings and jingles, two of which have been nominated for the Grammy award. He maintains a busy performing and teaching schedule, contributing his deep, steady groove to various bands and projects. Terson's "in the pocket" groove has kept him working on the competitive Chicago blues circuit, and taken him overseas as well. He recorded and toured with Lonnie Brooks from 1976-1982. He has also appeared and recorded with many other artists, including the legendary Otis Rush, Bo Diddley, Magic Slim, Albert Collins, Sunnyland Slim, Johnny Littlejohn, Eddy Clearwater, Jimmy Rogers, Kim Wilson, Eddie Shaw, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Big Mama Thornton, Jody Williams, Steve Freund, Tad Robinson, Dave Specter and the Bluebirds, Mojo and the Bayou Gypsies, The Chicago Rhythm Review, and Chicago blues rockers, The Fabulous Fish Heads. He performed at the internationally famous Kingston Mines in Chicago for more than twenty years, and currently teaches at The Old Town School of Folk Music. He has recorded on the Alligator, Delmark, Evidence, Severn, and JSP labels.

Thank you for charging up the crowd at Bobfest last night with an amazing and electrifying set. This year the Bob Whitman Research Foundation had record-breaking contributions thanks to the crowd you and your band bring to Bobfest. Your bass playing rules.

Hey Harlan
Looks like you haven't changed a bit.
It's been such a long time since I last saw you.
I'm going to the Sierra Blues Benefest to see Steve play next week. It should be cool. Let me know next time you play in Vegas.
