Terri New is an explosion of freshness, of dynamic vocal skill and great professionalism. This talented singer/songwriter is sure to impress. With a fresh soulful energy and attitude to jazz classics, elegant choices in material and phrasing, this woman is destined to be your new favorite jazz singer. From subtly nuanced ballads to soul drenched blues, the emotional power of Terri’s delivery is perfectly framed by the elegant simplicity of the arrangements of these classic melody-driven, lyrically-charged jazz standards. Her sultry, playful vocals can be heard on eclectic and an impressive range of tunes, varying from classic contemporary to traditional jazz mixed with old-timey blues and originals. A modern stylistic mix of Ella Fitzgerald and Laura Nyro. The “New” Show is an intriguing collection of songs from the Great American Songbook that focuses on romantic love, life, hope and friendship. The tunes are beautifully arranged and performed, sung with refreshing directness, subtlety, and sensitivity to the lyrics.

Terri,
"... I take this opportunity to tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed your performance last Thursday.
I'm sure you know that your accompanying musicians are both keepers. I sensed that you were able to focus on your vocals almost 100.... I wish I had taken a few notes. As it is, I can't tell you which songs were merely enjoyable and which ones gave me goose bumps. "Autumn Leaves" was definitely in the latter category.
I almost forgot to mention that your narrative added to the performance..., it transformed a group of songs into an almost theatrical whole. In a supper club it would help keep the audience engaged, rather than giving them permission to regard your efforts as mere background music.
Please accept my congratulations on assembling such a polished, professional act.
Yours truly,
Dave Morefield

Amazing performance of "Voices of the Velvet Revolution"
Terri, Your stunning performance for the Artist's Path inauguration on January 17, 2010 was outstanding! You know your subject intimately by your personal travel to Czechoslovakia, studying history, passionately portraying a peaceful revolution of which the majority of we Americans have never heard, highlighting that pacificists make a difference, that arts and humanities are very powerful persuaders of needed change, and that a playwright can lead a new nation. The leaders of The Artists Path chose the best performers in the West to launch a peaceful revolution that will circle the globe many times. Your beautiful, trained voice moved all of us in the audience, your music writing was very powerful, and you showed a very intellectual, caring, and passionate aspect of the amazing woman that you are. It simply breaks my heart that no Arizona newspaper reporter shouted headlines about your performance, but I know the internet will do that. We in the audience were treated to an extremely professional performance and we are so fortunate to have that experience in Prescott, a smaller Arizona town. There is no stopping you for I know that you will soon be internationally known for your singing and musical talents that will electrify the world.
Sincerely, Katy Standhardt
