With Terry Fields,  music ran like a river in the family so it was inevitable that he would be a musician.  His father played guitar so he by age five was introduced to the instrument.  He learned the basics and although he had great rhythm he found fingering positions difficult.  So at age 5 he traded in his guitar for a two piece drumset (Bass & Snare) and with sticks in hand he found his chosen conveyance.  Thanks to the helpful hand of a record player, he taught himself the mechanics of drumming.  His early influences were Buck Owens, The Beatles, and later to add Elton John, Poco, the Outlaws, ACDC and Aerosmith.  At the young age of 16 he traveled to New York, and played with a trio at a night spot in the Big Apple.  Quite the experience for such a young man.  He traveled with many different kinds of bands throughout his 40 years in the trade.  He played on Nashville's famed "Printer's Alley" with three brother's Baxter, Baxter & Baxter. Other  noted bands were, Rich Landers, who had a top ten hit (Take it all) and played on the Wheeling, West Virginia Jam.  Terry has opened for Jazz legend Ramsey Lewis, Marshall Tucker, Black Oak Arkansas, Ritchie Havens, Jerry Reed, Janie Frickie, Arron Tippon, Shelly West, Loretta Lynn, Ozark Mountain Dare Devils, David Grissum, Dan Seals and also backed up Crystal Gale, Roy Head, David Wills and John Conelly.  Throughout  the 80's he was with Zane Grey Band and later played with Nick Nixon, Morgantown, Buffalo Bob and The Bedroom Blues Band and Blues Handle.  He also played for the St. Louis Steel Guitar Players Convention for 6 years.  Drummer influences throughout his career have been, Ringo, Joe English, Charlie Martin, John Bonaham & George Grantham.  He joined the Stacey Collins Band in 2001 and has been "tearin' it up" and "rockin' it up" like he always does and always will!!!
