Once in a while a singer appears from out of nowhere; a singer with a voice that blows you away; a rock singer who reminds us what rock is supposed to be about. Terri Lane is that singer.



Terri was "discovered" at age 11, and began being classically trained. At age 15, she was awarded a music scholarship under the direction of famed director and composer Robert DeCormier, but shortly thereafter realized opera was not for her – and the real world of rock and roll became her domain. She became a veteran of the recording studio and the stage, with her background vocals gracing countless CDs over the years. If you are among the lucky ones who have seen her perform, then you know how she rips up a stage.



But it's not only her powerful presence you remember – it's her VOICE – the most amazing set of pipes rock music has heard in a long time.



And now Terri's got her own players and she's singing her own songs. This is true ROCK, with a healthy injection of blues that gives it soul. Full of grooves, attitude, passion and heart, Terri's music is honest, personal and real, just like her.



Terri Lane is the true definition of a “rock singer” – not just a face and a voice, but a compelling, bigger-than-life Artist and Performer. So, don't miss the opportunity to see and hear Terri Lane. Join the people who already know that...TERRI LANE ROCKS!!



Currently, Terri is recording tracks for her first solo CD, and is also producing, at Horizon Studios in Connecticut.

Why this name?
Gee, that's a tough one - I'm a solo artist - and that's my name!
Do you play live?
Of course I dig playing live, that's what it's all about. I am playing throughout the Northeastern U.S., and will be going farther pretty soon. Every performance has been special in its own way, it's always wonderful to see how people react to you giving them your all - there is no feeling like it in the world - it's the most exciting feeling there is.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It brings everybody together from across the globe and exposes you to them in a way that would not be possible without a major label behind you. It gives people a chance to form their own opinions, rather them have them forced upon you by the media, or hype, etc. It's just all about the music, and the universal language we all speak in loving it. You can build a fan base right here at your fingertips. Since major labels no longer have the control over an artist's future, we are the masters of our own destiny.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not unless they shared my vision and would be able to take me to places I couldn't get on my own.
Band History:
More info is available on my web site and also at myspace.com/terrilanerocks.
Your influences?
Paul Rodgers, Aerosmith (especially the earlier stuff), Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and lots of blues rock artists/bands from the 70s - like Joe Walsh - I remember listening to a James Gang record of my mom's - it blew my mind, all those riffs. But at the same time, I discovered Black Sabbath and KISS, so I've got all that going on when I perform, I put it all out there.
Favorite spot?
The beach is my favorite spot; favorite cities currently are Chicago and NYC, baby. I haven't seen enough of the world yet, but I'm working on it (literally).
Equipment used:
Too much to list here.
Anything else...?
I'm an advocate for children, and a big fan of Hillary Clinton. If I'm successful as an artist, I plan to use my influence to raise money for Lawyers for Children America, a wonderful organization that aids children who are victims of abuse and neglect to grow up to live normal, productive lives. Also love to play tennis and read. In addition, I will be going back to school this winter to finish my Liberal Arts degree (Communications) so I can get into investigative journalism if I want. I met Barbara Walters in June, who is my journalistic inspiration. Her book, Audition, is one I'm currently reading.
