Artist description The Realside is the first solo project started by Terry McClain. It is truly a solo effort, being that one person writes, records, produces and performs all instruments and vocals. The Realside started with 4 track demos in 1998 in his old garage while playing with many talented musicians in and around the Nashville/Murfreesboro, TN area, then Terry moved to Memphis. There he would develop what would become The Realside while playing in a jazz/jam/world/fusion band called Fausto. Attaining much comradre around Memphis' local scene, Terry recorded a self-produced cd, The Realside:Intro To. After moving to NY in Sept.2000, he recorded the same way but experimenting with the modern electronic aggressive sounds in one project and then a bare-bones solo acoustic folk project for live showcases. The Realside is an equal opportunity enjoyer.
