Bio
Singer-songwriter Terry Winchell is an alchemist, turning bitter sweet life experience into pure gold. Her music is street-wise with a transcendent positivity, at times mixed with humor. On Terry's 2007 CD release "Vice Versa" (Woodzilla Records), her song "Snake" compares a scoundrel of a lover to a snake who brings her "down down down" yet never has acceptance of a hopeless situation sounded so uplifting. Terry shares her steely-eyed enlightenment in the song "Life is for Living," her voice so penetrating it manages to touch the collective wound in all of us and heal it at the same time. And her recent composition slated for a 2011 release "Loma Bonita" conjures heartfelt impressions of Mexico, sung with love and appreciation. Along with her sensitivity, talent and captivating voice, Terry brings the richness of her life experience to the recording studio, air waves and stage. Her empathy, reflection, conviction, soulfulness and playful nature inject the fullness of life into her music and lyrics.

Her early contact with nature shaped her strong ethos of nurturing a physical and emotional ecology on which life on all levels depends. Terry's two successful CD,s, Under the Veil of Wilderness and Vice Versa reflect her dynamism as a writer, composer and musician. Terry's live performances are no less compelling.
