TERRY GORDON



Born in the small town of Taralga near Goulburn in 1942, the Terry Gordon story began at age five when his dad took him to see the Tex Morton Wild West Show which passed through the town. It was enough to set the wild-eyed youngster on a determined, unswerving ambition to become a country music star. By age 16, he was already playing guitar in a band and in his early 20s, he was a solo performer on the Sydney club circuit. Since beginning his recording career, he has released more than 25 CDs.

Terry learned his stage craft touring with the Seekers, Tom T Hall, Slim Dusty, Col Elliott, Normie Rowe, Jade Hurley and Wally the Worker to name just some. His TV experience extends from Bandstand, Six O’clock Rock through to morning/midday shows, late night variety programs and his own nightly television show out of Tamworth Must Be Country. In 1995 Terry was invited to appear at the Hodag Country Music Festival in Wisconsin, USA along with Willie Nelson, Clint Black, George Jones, Bobby Bare and a host of American country music legends.

Terry was awarded Country Music Entertainer Of The Year in 1995 and in 2002 given Australia’s Living Legend Award. In 2005 he received an OAM for services to the entertainment industry and in 2012 he was awarded the Entertainers Roll of Renown.
