Energized acoustic pop that gets your hips shaking and has teeny-boppers and baby-boomers alike singing along by the second chorus. Killer harmonies, soulful vocals, real-world lyrics, bluesy guitar licks all smothered over a glue-you-to-the-dance-floor rhythm section.
Terry Quiett's music history stretches from performing solo acoustic shows (from Denver to Louisville) all the way to composing symphonic music for orchestra. After all that experimenting, it seems he's finally found his niche by returning to the pop melodies of his youth. In the summer of 2002, tired of the lonely singer-songwriter circuit, Terry decided to put a band together - something to more closely resemble the sound of his two solo releases (recorded with local uber-talent GOODING). He wanted to combine what he'd learned about songwriting with the energy and fun of band interaction. He called on long-time friend Rodney Baker to join on drums. In early 2003 he found a permanent bass player in Randy Wilson.
The band performed locally and regionally at clubs and festivals gaining momentum all the way. They finally decided they'd tightened the screws enough and hit Greenjeans Studios to record their first CD as a group. The results include 15 upbeat, fun, sing-along songs on the Shifting Gears album.
Things have been falling into place ever since. The music video (included on the multimedia CD) was shown before every feature at the Warren Old Town Cinema in Wichita - creating great buzz about the band. Several songs from the album were included in the local film '5 Conversations' as well. Their CD release concert at Meyer Hall was also filmed and recorded for a live DVD/CD release due in spring 2006.Everything is in place to take these guys to the next level.
