Terry Farmer

Terry is a seasoned professional musician. Starting from a young age in his family band, Terry’s music career has taken him to all four corners of the country and beyond as a player and bandleader, including a 2-year stint as lead guitarist with surf legends Jan & Dean, and 3 years of national touring with his original rock & roll band, The Bead Band.
