Sonny Boy Terry, born Terry Jerome in Van Wert, Ohio, is a bluesman recognized as one of Texas' - if not one of America's - top harmonica players. After learning the basics, he moved to Houston, Texas in 1981 and began building his experience with the likes of Uncle John Turner, TC and the Cannonballs, and more, and later played in bands and toured domestically and internationally with Jerry Lightfoot, Kinney Abair, and Joe Guitar Hughes. In the 1990s, he founded the 501(C)3 non-profit Houston Blues Society and started building his own band. Now the biggest selling artist on Doc Blue Records, he has been featured on countless songs and has released multiple albums of his own. Terry makes his home in Houston, Texas.
