"Blue Flower” Album by Terry Winchell
Terry’s songwriting and music opens vistas that draw from her personal life experience and reach out to the universal.
Blue Flower” is a musical mélange that combines elements of folk, blues, country rock, and at times ethereal . All songs are based on true events in Terry's life , it's a deeply personal and honest album. It came out of a reflective challenging time of personal loss and the recent recession. Her voice and the music bring the listener close to those experiences. Terry’s soaring and expressive voice along with distinct and beautifully balanced instrumentation captures unique experiences and provocative reflections that we rediscover in ourselves as we listen.
Accompanying Terry on this album are NY sidemen, with whom she has recorded and played live with for many years, as well as musicians from Nashville TN and Austin TX.
Each has a heartfelt and supportive understanding of Terry's music, creating a natural chemistry. This is Terry's third self produced album of original songs . She sings (lead and background vocals, along with playing acoustic and electric rhythm guitars).
Guitarist, engineer and co -producer Mark McCarron plays multiple instruments on the album, including (lead guitar, dobro, lap steel, baritone, nylon, mandolin, and arch top). "Blue Flower" also features Tim Lauer (piano, accordion and organ), Suzanne Mueller (cello), Paul Page (bass), Russ Meissner (drums, percussion), Phil Cimino (drums), and Elizabeth Lee (background vocals).
Terry Winchell grew up on he East End of Long Island, NY, surrounded by farmland and the ocean. From the beginning, her love of nature and her experience as a traveling balladeer have infused her music. Terry developed an eclectic style, early on and many influences still run through her music today. Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Otis Redding, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Parsons, Gordon Lightfoot, to name a few contributed to her growth as an artist.
