  • Bio

    Terence Martin RIP Terence Martin passed away on Nov 7th, 2011 losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. New York singer/songwriter and published poet Terence Martin was born in London, grew up in Los Angeles, and 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. His poetry is included in the anthology, "Four Valley Poets." Terence has just released his new CD, The Last Black and White TV. It features 10 original songs by Terence and his long time collaborator Gregory Hicks, written in the Santa Monica Mountains and Eastern Sierras in California during 4 creative weeks in the summer of 2009. This is Terence's sixth release, his most straightforward and musically accessible to date. The spirit of spontaneity and naturalness was taken into the studio, with tracks recorded live, highlighting the honesty and simplicity of the songs. Produced by Terence and Dennis Hrbek, the CD features performances by Dan Bonis on archtop guitar, lap steel & dobro, Gordon Roehrer on bass and Clifford Carter (James Taylor, Paul Simon) on keyboards, "A Little Mercy." Terence's previous CDs, Even Trade, Lost Hills, Sleeper, Waterproof and his debut Division Street have all received top national radio airplay and excellent reviews. "Familiar Mysteries", a song from Waterproof, was selected for the title track on the second CD from the Garland Appeal, the charity started in memory of Linda McCartney and sanctioned by her husband Paul. Terence has shared the stage with national acts such as Rosanne Cash, Roger McGuinn, Dar Williams, and Richie Havens. He has performed throughout the Northeast, including the Most Wanted Stage at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, the NJ & Boston Folk Festivals, been a finalist in the Mountain Stage New Song Contest, and his song, "Go Ask the Rain" from Even Trade, was selected for Best Song in the male singer songwriter category, in the 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards. "The Last Black and White TV is one of the 10 best discs of 2010!" - George Maida, WCVE, Richmond, VA - "Terence Martin's latest CD, "The Last Black and White TV" might be his finest recording to date. Terence puts us in the passenger seat for a musical roadtrip to some very personal mileposts, each song crafted with an honesty and accessibility that is a hallmark of his songwriting skills." - Ron Olesko, Traditions WFDU - "Terence Martin's new album, The Last Black and White TV, shows why he's a Cadillac among Chevy-quality singer songwriters. I've got 'Halfway There' stuck on repeat--it offers great, thought-provoking lyrics, a hook buried so deep you'll never get it out, and a wealth of philosophical maturity. These are all qualities I expect, and routinely get, from Terence Martin." - Jim Motavalli, WPKN - "Martin belongs in the foremost pantheon of contemporary singer songwriters." - Sing Out -

    My wife and I saw and heard you perform at Cheney Hall, Manchester, CT, a few years ago, and was completely hooked by your lyrics and voice.  Hopefully we'll be able to catch you somewhere in the near future to relive the magic live.
