Artist Bio
|
Terry Brock second solo album “Diamond Blue” promises to make a huge impact in the
melodic rock world. He has recently debuted as lead singer in the Melodic Rock titans GIANT
with the acclaimed release of the “Promise Land” album and very recently he has announced
his intention to rejoin STRANGEWAYS, the legendary british AOR band that launched his
name in the spotlight in the late 80’s.
Still, in between these two very important milestone
albums in the melodic rock year, Terry managed to complete “Diamond Blue” in collaboration
with renowned guitarist / producer / songwriter Mike Slamer. The two of them have already
collaborated together in SEVENTH KEY and on the SLAMER album “Nowhere Land” and
have already showed the world the magic that the combination of their talent can achieve.
In “Diamond Blue” the two of them explore a more classic Melodic Rock sonic landscape
which showcases Terry’s vocal abilities in its most natural environment.
Still, when Mike
Slamer’s around you can’t help but having some roaring guitars and riveting guitar solos. All
this, combined with a brilliant songwriting builds up a fabulous release which is already very
much talked and anticipated by the legions of Melodic Rock fans around the world. “Diamond
Blue” also includes a song “Jessie’s Gone” written by Terry with Strangeways’ guitar player
Ian Stewart.
Terry Brock’s musical career started as a background vocalist on Kansas album "Drastic
Measures" in 1983. On that session he met Neil Kernon (the producer of the record) who
subsequently turned out to be very important in Terry’s career. He also toured with Kansas in
support of that album, playing guitar and doing background vocals. Before joining the
legendary british Melodic Rock outfit STRANGEWAYS, Terry toured extensively with the
STEVE MORSE BAND, playing guitar and singing. STRANGEWAYS, of course, were Terry's

best known experience in the music business. With them he recorded two albums on BMG /
RCA: "Native Sons" and "Walk In the Fire".
With Strangeways he toured extensively around the whole of Europe garnering the band a
reputation as one of the best UK based AOR bands ever and for himself the mantle of being the
real heir to Steve Perry's (of Journey) throne. After he left Strangeways he moved to New York
working mainly with famed producer Neil Kernon, who hired him to sing background vocals on
albums by bands such as Aviator, Heaven's Edge, Valentine, Britny Fox and Michael Bolton.
After a few years spent in Nashville, he came back on the scene taking part in the Melodic Rock
supergroup THE SIGN and later with SEVENTH KEY (both featuring KANSAS bassist/singer
Billy Greer) and SLAMER.
He recently joined GIANT as replacement for Dann Huff on vocals
on the excellent “Promise Land” album and he is currently working on the anticipated
STRANGEWAYS reunion cd ready for the fall.
