It's all about the song
Terry Cupp
Terry has played at the famous Bluebird Cafe thirty-plus times. Born and raised in a small mid Ohio town. Raised on southern cookin and southern lovin. Mom and Dad were from Tennessee and came north up that hillbilly highway looking for work. The roots of my raising run deep into the south. Not long after I was born we were back in Tennessee and then in Florida. But in the early 60's not much work was to be found south of the Mason-Dixon line, so back north we came. As far back as I can remember music was in my life. My Dad would sit around the house and strum an old guitar. And then out on the weekends he'd go playing in some old honky tonk. So I guess from an early age this life appealed to me. And I knew I would do the same. And I have. I have played and sang from California to Florida and I even did some singing when I was in Germany with some Army buddies. The road has been my life and my life will always be the road. Dad once told me 'Always be yourself' and with my songs I try to be myself. I was raised on Jimmie Rodgers, Lefty, Merle, and a slew of other good damn country singers. Plus my Dad, who just never got the break he deserved. So I took my guitar and hit the road looking for that lost highway and that unwrittable song.
