Terry Quiett Band - Truth & Intent (2020)

In just a few years the Terry Quiett Band has become a mainstay across America’s Heartland. From 6th Street in Austin…to the windy city of Chicago…through the mountains of Colorado…across the deserts of Arizona…jamming down on Beale Street in Memphis…wherever they go the TQB has won over young and old with their energetic and soulful sound.

Along the way they have forged relationships with Grammy-winning studio masters Jim Gaines and Blaise Barton, who have worked with legends of the blues industry such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Steve Miller Band, George Thorogood, Luther Allison, Albert Collins, Pinetop Perkins, Willie Smith, Michael Burks and many more.

Jim, Blaise and Terry first teamed up on the 2011 release Just My Luck (on Lucky Bag Records) exposing the Terry Quiett Band to a national audience for the first time. By the end of 2011 it was listed as #74 on the top 100 played CD's on the Roots Music Report Blues Chart for the year. They joined forces again in 2012 to record the live CD A Night at the Orpheum which received fantastic reviews from the blues world.

In 2014 found Terry and Blaise once again collaborating with Blaise mixing the studio album Taking Sides which was released March 25, 2014. Taking Sides features 12 original songs (plus a bonus track of the classic Let’s Get It On) and is split into two distinct sides. Side one showcases the rootsy slidework for which Terry is fast becoming known - while side two finds the band tapping into a bluesy, contemporary twist on vintage Soul and R&B. Two perspectives from one of the most promising artists on the blues scene.

The band has spent the last several years on hiatus, but are jumping back into the scene with a brand-new EP of original music entitled Truth & Intent to be released on May 16, 2020 at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Wichita, KS. This album finds Terry reuniting with the original power trio from Cut the Rope and Just My Luck, featuring his long-time drummer Rodney “Shotgun” Baker and bassist Rev. Aaron Underwood. Truth & Intent contains a batch of energetic and groovy tunes TQB fans will find a fresh extension of the soulful blues rock they love.
