Terry Talbot to join Barry McGuire
for Australian Tour

Terry Talbot's "The Painter" Billboard Magazine called, "acoustic album of the decade!"

Terry Talbot has a rich history in American music. Before Terry’s journey into Christian music he was the founder of the country rock band, Mason Proffit of Two Hangmen and Better Find Jesus fame.

They recorded five albums on the Warner Bros. Label and their opening acts included John Denver, The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and Dan Fogleberg. Later, with brother John, he toured as the opening act for the Eagles. He earned early recognition as an accomplished guitarist with Glen Campbell, Chad Mitchell and Sonny and Cher.

Twenty years ago Terry Talbot was one of the few who founded and shaped Contemporary Christian Music…CCM. Once again he is bringing change to CCM with a new musical style, Celtic-World Fusion. Blending the moving sounds of Celtic folk instruments, the passion of Flamenco rhythms and the Americana Folk music of his heritage, he has created a unique acoustic musical blend on his new CD, Steps of the Mission.

Terry’s most recent cd, Steps Of The Mission and his live presentation is a multi-cultural musical banquet that joyously takes the listener around the world in one concert! From Terry’s amazing finger-picking Irish American folk guitar to Bruce Kurnow’s harmonica and Al Perkins’ slide guitar, it is not uncommon to see the audience leap to their feet in repeated standing ovations in the course of one performance. Terry’s original songs are packed with emotional and spiritual nutrition that will suffice even the most discerning palette. As he shares his friendship with Christ, Terry’s sense of humor and personal transparency touches even those of other faiths in an inviting and encouraging manner.

He has recorded over 30 albums and has been nominated for a number of Grammy and Dove awards. The last seven years he has toured with duo partner Barry McGuire recording four CD’s and a live video. Before that he recorded seven solo albums with Sparrow Records including the Grammy nominated album, The Painter, with his brother John Michael Talbot.

Terry has reached a place of peace and surrender in his personal life that is reflected in his music and message. His musical styles have always pushed the cutting edge. Much like his real life, Terry’s broad range of experience allows him the ability to connect with his audience of all ages and lifestyles. His engaging life stories and quick sense of humor leave the audience wanting more.
