Terry Dean Harder - Singer/Songwriter Performance - In Conjuction with Third Thursday Event

A soulful contemporary Christian rhythm guitar player singer/songwriter with roots in rock n’ roll, rhythm & blues, country and soul since the age of 15, Terry sings with deep vocal influences from a broad spectrum of artists like Elvis - Eric Clapton - Roy Orbison - Otis Redding - Johnny Cash - Bob Dylan - and Ray LaMontagne, with gospel artists like Bob Carlyle, Michael English, Phil Driscoll and Newsong having a strong Christian influence later on in his life. With this colorful background of vocal influence, Terry exhibits a unique versatile singing style influenced by a rich heritage of soulful singers.
He recently released a dynamic debut album titled, “My Tribute To Ramey” on cdbaby and iTunes inspired by the faith and courage of his daughter, Ramey Alana Reeves.  Terry sings his heart with raw passion in this soulful tribute that will stir your soul and inspire you deep down within.

“My Tribute To Ramey” is a compilation of original songs inspired by the homegoing of Terry’s daughter Ramey,  who fought a courageous battle with a malignant brain tumor in 2008. Her “unshakeable faith” and legacy is the inspiration behind the content and message of the majority of these songs.   The CD can be downloaded and purchased at www.cdbaby.com/cd/terrydeanharder12 

Terry says, “When life broadsides you with unimaginable circumstances, the obvious question would seem to be - how does one cope? It’s during these times and trials that what we say we believe, base our life upon and have faith in, gets put to the ultimate test. The songs on this album convey those struggles and questions we all have, and as a result, give us the answers to what I believe life is about, and how we can overcome and be victorious until we get to the other side ourselves”.
May these songs inspire you to know Him - Jesus Christ - who is faithful and true, and may they give you the encouragement and strength to carry on in your darkest hour.
