1953-San Antonio, Texas: Born into an army family Terry Lee attended 10 schools in 10 different cities. After finishing high school in Yakima, Washington he escaped to Seattle, then California and continued from there to travel in the States all the while learning to play guitar and write songs.
TLH has worked as a carpenter, truck driver, farm and ranch hand, cook, laborer, bar tender, booking agent and various other occupations to support himself, his daughter (as a single parent) and his music. From the first time he heard Bill Haley’s “Rock Around The Clock” he wanted to be a guitar player and indeed, bought his first at 14.
His first appearances on record was on 1987’s – “Lowlife” compilation from Ironwood Records (Seattle) and the following year with the song “Dead Is Dead” on SubPop 200. Terry Lee lives near Paris, France with his wife.
Now, there are 12 Cd’s released in Europe, all of them on German recording labels starting in 1993 with “Oh What A World” on Normal Records. The next 8 CD’s (Frontier Model, The Wilderness Years, Tornado Alley, Leaving West, Old Hand, Blue Room, Frozen, Tender Loving Hell: The Best Of…) were with Glitterhouse and the last release (Celebration What For) in 2004 with Blue Rose.
Also with Blue Rose was one self-titled release called “Hardpan” and one live CD/DVD- “Hardpan Live”- featuring Chris Burroughs, Joseph Parsons Todd Thibaud and Terry Lee Hale. Terry Lee signed with the Spanish indie label Borderdreams in 2007 to release his latest recording “Shotgun Pillowcase” (produced by Chris Eckman and mixed by Tucker Martine). That record was released February 15, 2007.
