“Life can be bitter, life can be sweet, if you’re lucky, you’ll find the balance between the two.”
Hello, and welcome to my BitterSweet Music page. My name is Terrence, and I am a solo Acoustic Rock Musician in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
I Started in music at the age of 15 with a $99 RadioShack amp, finding love and release in the tones that spewed from my no name, 6 string knock off guitar. Learning to play by fumbling through notes while listening to my radio, I took early influence from Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and KISS. I eventually formed a garage band with my Dad, Brother, and a cool kid two houses down who played drums. Playing both original and cover songs at local venues and parties, I quickly developed a raw addiction for onstage performing.
Over the next several decades I discovered new inspirations from Early Blues, Classic Rock, 80’s Hair, 90’s Grunge, and Nu Metal. I continued to perform live and hone my craft as a guitarist, vocalist, and live performer. From Salt Lake City, to Sturgis, I have played in the smallest of backyards up to world famous stages.
I now merge my love for all decades of R N’ R with my passion for live performing, into a Chill Vibe Acoustic Show. Playing Acoustic Rock interpretations from The Beatles, to the Foo Fighters and much in between from the 50’s into the 2000’s. I am stoking the flame of Rock N Roll, and keeping it burning.
