Her Music
Growing up in Idaho, she was influenced by the Powwow's held at the nearby Shoshoni-Bannock Reservation, where she would listen for hours to the beat of the drum that would pierce her very soul.
It was always curious to Terri when She would meet people that She could always heard music coming from them, like their personal scent. She figured every one could hear music and it applied to people, places, and things. The music was like chants around people - usually has no words, just vocal sounds which makes them very powerful and personal. It helps her 'see' people better…if something is missing in their soul, it's like an unfinished phrase."
She has sung at many powwows and continues to sing at colleges and schools as well as write and record songs.
