Terry Petersen

Terry Petersen, producer, engineer, songwriter, musician and singer. Besides his family the music part is what holds that special place in his heart. Let me take you back a few year\'s. He told me that it all started for him when he was 10 year\'s old. His mom bought him a cheap electric guitar, with an amp that was big enough to make noise.

Terry Petersen, producer, engineer, songwriter, musician and singer. Besides his family the music part is what holds that special place in his heart. Let me take you back a few year\'s. He told me that it all started for him when he was 10 year\'s old. His mom bought him a cheap electric guitar, with an amp that was big enough to make noise. He said he made so much noise that they made him go out in the hall way and shut the door. It didn\'t hurt his feelings though because they knew he was really just trying to figure it out. He really wanted them to listen to him , but he realized the only way that was going to happen was to learn how to play at least something that wouldn\'t make the paint peel off the walls. His first band had the pleasure of being the opening band for The Buckinghams, Cryan Shames, Archie Bell and The Drells, Three Dog Nite, Classics 4. Then 1979 came around and he started a group called \"Backstreet\". They entered an International Battle of the Bands. Out of 3,000 bands they came in third here in Nashville performing all originals at T.P.A.C. They won some money and received a free single As the years passed Music was still a major part of his life In 1989 and 90 he got involved racing late model stock cars at NASCAR short tracks In 1995 Terry got involved with Legend car racing with Brooks and Dunn and Mark Collie at Nashville Speedway. Terry owned a few race cars and loving racing, won 4 championships. Both Mark Collie, also Peter Cetera of The group \"Chicago\" drove the other two. Through years of being involved with The Legend Car Races Terry along with 30 or 40 other artists raised funds for Diabetes Research for Vanderbilt. Terry has said that he has met so many different people throughout his life ,he wouldn\'t change a thing if he could. You can now find Terry in his recording studio recording, singing and writing again with the help of some friends that encourage him to keep going. His last c.d. was released 10/20/06. He hope\'s that every one who buys it will enjoy all the song\'s that mean so much too him and the spiritual message\'s that they contain. Look for his new C.D. release in \"2007\" God bless.
