Terry Thrift

Please allow me to set the mood for your next special event. I perform a variety of styles including classical, jazz, and popular music.

Would you like beautiful classical guitar or an upbeat acoustic feel as the backdrop for your event? I studied classical guitar with Dr. Stephen Robinson of Stetson University and have a song list that spans from traditional J.S. Bach to popular music from the 60's to present.

When a "bigger sound" is necessary I use a loop machine to provide backing tracks that make it possible to be a "one man band". Please see my Classical/Popular songlist below.
