TERRY BROCK
Diamond Blue

Terry Brock second solo album “Diamond Blue” promises to make a huge impact in the melodic rock world.

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.
