Grand Opening•Reviewed on September 28, 2026•From Shallotte, NC

Terry was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was so kind, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. He did an amazing job performing at our event, and the crowd absolutely loved him! He created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere and was the perfect addition to the day. We received so many compliments and would definitely recommend Terry for any event.

From start to finish Terry did everything he could to make the evening special. He came early to set up, he made recommendations, and was very flexible with my timing. I would hire him again!

Terry is an excellent musician. He was very accommodating and very responsive when I messaged him. We loved his music and only wish we had a larger group to enjoy it! We will definitely have him out again.

Terry performed for our HOA summer party and everyone loved it! He’s very talented, professional and laid back. He accommodated requests and played country, buffet, classic rock. Perfect for all ages, we can’t wait for him to come back and play again!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 6, 2022•From Wilmington, NC

Had never heard or met Terry, but listened to his demos online and thought they sounded good. We hired him for a graduation party in our backyard and everyone raved about how good he sounded and how well he played. Terry showed up early and left late. Worth every penny. He was a pleasure to be around. He has recently relocated to southeastern NC from the Raleigh area and we are glad to have him here! I'm sure he will be in high demand and probably will be seen quite often around town. Hire him while you can!

Thanks Glen …for letting me provide music for your special family day!

Community Event•Reviewed on June 21, 2021•From Raleigh, NC

We booked Terry for an outdoor neighborhood function. He was professional, vocally talented and so gracious and accommodationg when we had to postpone twice for weather. He played a great variety of music and his sound system was amazing. Everyone asked about his contact info for future bookings. I would highly recommend Terry and plan on rebooking for future functions! Five stars all around!

Thanks Cindy … enjoyed your “Friday after 5” pool party. Would greatly enjoy playing for you again. Appreciate the feedback!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on October 12, 2016•From Raleigh, NC

Terry Dean was A-MAZ-ING!!!! I was looking for an acoustic guitar player/singer for my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary party that we were throwing at my brother's house. My hopes and dreams were that this person could sing everything from Jim Croce, to Jimmy Buffet with a little country and rock in between. TERRY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! His song selection was perfect and his vocals were outstanding. Terry is so accommodating, easy going and reliable! Even amidst the hurricane, Terry made everything perfect! I would hire him again and again! Lisa A.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 28, 2016•From Fuquay Varina, NC

Terry performed at a private party at our home on June 18th attended by a group ranging from 9 to 85 years of age. He is incredibly talented and has an extensive repertoire. All of the guests commented that he made the party come alive! He accommodated requests and involved everyone! We have hired musicians at our parties for the past 20 years and he is the best ever! I would be pleased to personally recommend him to anyone who asks!

Terry played my boyfriends 50th birthday. He did a great job and was super professional. Highly recommend Terry for a pool party or backyard party.
