Terry has been entertaining Strater guests and locals for years! Terry grew up playing in rock bands around the Boston area before moving to southern California. In the 80’s and early 90’s he played all over Orange and L.A. counties as a solo guitarist-vocalist. He played in many fine clubs and restaurants such as the Rusty Pelican in Newport Beach and Captain Jack’s in Sunset Beach, just to mention a couple. He now lives in southwest Colorado and plays at resorts, clubs and restaurants throughout the Four Corners area. Terry’s musical roots are classic rock, but after living in Colorado for some time he can also do a full night of country music. He can also mix in some blues, reggae, contemporary rock and his own original compositions. Terry also has an excellent three piece band that plays a wide variety of music.

Sean grew up playing many different instruments, none of which has fascinated him as much as the guitar. He began playing guitar in 2001 in Ojai, CA, and since then it has brought him many friends and fine experiences. When he plays, he tries to provide a landscape for both himself and the audience to inhabit, so that everyone feels the same. His influences range from traditional Celtic music to blues, country western to Norah Jones, Bob Seger to English choral music. Guns N Roses to Sharon Jones. Join Sean in The Office!
