Singer/songwriter Terry Holder explores her passions through her defining and distinctive voice. She writes about basic human emotion with layers of meaning behind them. In her live performances, she has the undeniable ability to captivate and connect with her listeners through her emotionally driven songs.
Terry does not believe in placing limits on herself. Up until 1999, her full time job was "stay at home mom." Her life changed when the youngest of her 3 daughters moved away, a transition that coincided with the passing of Holder's own mother. Depression started to settle in. Reaching out for solace she reached for her guitar and began shifting her pain into writing music. The first song she penned became the title track for her debut CD "Am I Here, Is This Me," which was originally intended for a keepsake for her daughters. This album of introspective pop/folk tunes started garnering sales and critical acclaim with 2 of the songs, "Twilight Love" and "Goodnight" becoming finalists in the Alaska song of the year contest.
Her 2nd CD "Colored Rooms" is more outgoing mirroring her growing confidence as a performer and writer. Terry says, "sometimes I don't recognize my life anymore, none of this was ever planned. It's like I'm living this little rock-n-roll life but it feels like this is what I'm suppose to be doing." Even though her kids are no longer at home, she remains attentive to their needs. "Colored Rooms" has a hidden track called "Dressed in White," a song she wrote for the traditional father-daughter dance at weddings.
Today Terry tours performing at House Concerts, festivals and other venues as a duo with her husband Jerry accompanying her on guitar and harmony vocals and she was a finalist in the 2008 Kerrville New Folk Competition. "It's very humbling and gratifying when people like your music. If I can touch one person with a song, then I feel that I've accomplished something great in my life." read more
