Tern Rounders are: Kim Kilby (Vocals, Guitar); Marc Clayton (Vocals, Guitar); Jim Ketterer (Drums, Percussion); Harry Strole (Bass); and Rick Morse (Pedal Steel, Dobro).
Tern Rounders' music paints a richly varied landscape, from the rootsy vistas of fellow songwriter/musicians like Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Emmylou Harris, Townes Van Zandt, to further down the coast to California, warping back to a time when Gram Parsons & The Burrito Bros. flew high over L.A. and the Buffalo Springfield still roamed.
The band brings their distinctive take on the American roots tradition to the live stage, with their hard-charging honky-tonk shuffles, cosmic country, and vocal-harmony-driven folk rock.
The band has undergone quite a (r)evolution in its short lifespan, from its inception as an acoustic trio to its current electric five piece formation.
