In just a few years the Terry Quiett Band has become a mainstay across America’s Heartland. From 6th street in Austin…to the windy city of Chicago…through the mountains of Colorado…across the deserts of Arizona…jamming down on Beale Street in Memphis…wherever they go the TQB has won over young and old with their energetic and soulful sound.
Along the way they forged a relationship with a 13-time Grammy-winning producer by the name of Jim Gaines. Jim is a veteran of the blues industry revered for his work with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Carlos Santana, Steve Miller Band, George Thorogood, Luther Allison, Albert Collins and many more.
Jim and Terry first teamed up on the 2011 release “Just My Luck” ( on Lucky Bag Records) taking the Terry Quiett Band sound to an entirely new level. By the end of 2011 it was listed as one of the TOP 100 played CD’s on the Roots Music Report Blues Chart for the year. They joined forces again in the spring of 2012 to record alive CD which was released on July 2012 ” A Night at the Orpheum” is getting fantastic reviews from the blues world with many 5 star ratings.
During this time, the Terry Quiett Band has shared the stage with legends including Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, B.B King, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Johnny Winter, Walter Trout, Robin Trower, Tab Benoit, Robert Randolph and the family band, Bernard Allison, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, .38 Special and Los Lonely Boys.

Terry Quiett Band has a commanding presence onstage and explodes every power trio cliché by cutting a broad swath of striking original material from haunting Delta blues and sophisticated jazzy swing to chesty rock featuring his flawless guitar technique and deeply soulful vocals. His latest release Just My Luck, produced by the legendary Jim Gaines is a modern masterpiece of highly charged, blues-based music.

Influences: Led Zeppelin to John Mayer and everything in between.

“…one of the hottest power-trio outfits on the scene today. They successfully mix the blues of the Delta with the psychedelia of the Sixties…it’s apparent that Terry Quiett is ready for much bigger things in the blues world, and “Just My Luck” is an excellent starting point!!!”— Sheryl & Don Crow, Nashville Blues Society Newsletter

” Just my Luck” is in the Top 100 played albums of 2011″— Roots Music Report

“…Quiett’s talent not just as a guitar slinger, but writer too . . . indeed the trio have a lot more going for them than some ‘power trios’, with a lot of ‘light and shade’ on offer.” — Grahame Rhodes, Blues in the Northwest

“It takes a lot of fire and passion to express yourself musically in the power trio format – and there’s some big shoes to fill. Hendrix, Cream, ZZ Top, Rush – not too many slouches in the bunch. Well, for the Terry Quiett Band, the shoes seem to fit quite comfortably. Powerful, expressive guitar, and varied and poignant song writing (all the songs are by Terry Quiett), coupled with the spot on rhythms of bassist Aaron Underwood and drummer Rodney Baker deliver a powerful and pleasing Blues based package that’s sure to please. The Terry Quiett Band has successfully entered into the elite company of musical trios of years past.”— BarrelHouse Blues

“Blues/rock fans will love this release. It’s a well-rounded, well-played set and Quiett has the makings of a future star with his formidable writing, playing, and singing skills.”— Graham, Friday Blues Fix

“I think when the end of 2011 rolls around, those fortunate enough to have heard the Terry Quiett Band’s new disc, Just My Luck, will agree with me that this disc is one of the gems of the year. Great songwriting, outstanding musicianship and the amazing talents of producer Jim Gaines all contribute to making Just My Luck a great disc. This is one CD that will find its way back into my CD player time and again.”— Kyle Diebler, Blues Bytes

“…an infectiously intriguing mixture of coolly aloof, Jazzy rich slowburning Blues; entwined with soul filled sweaty, muscular riffs and achingly raw slide. A very fine performance by all and a very fine album.”— Brian Harman, Blues Matters

“As a recording and mastering engineer I get to hear lots of new albums. While working on the Terry Quiett Band Just My Luck master, I found myself really enjoying those songs, a nice combination of catchy, sharp song writing and top notch musicianship. This is one of the finest albums that has come across my mastering desk in a while.” – Blaise Barton,JoyRide Studios, Chicago, IL, Studio Review..

“…shows that blues/rock power trios can adapt to the 21st century without relying on clichés by adding the versatility needed to deal with today’s genre bending times. Fun beer blast music that’ll get every middle aged white running to get his air guitar out of its case so he can jam.” -Chris Spector, Midwest Record Review

“From the opening groove of “Karma” you’re hooked…All in all, this is a keeper. I suspect that I’ll be hearing a lot more about the Terry Quiett Band.” -Melissa Martinez, Rock Over America

“There’s the rawness and beauty of windswept plains and harsh weather in his unvarnished sounding vocals. Lucky in love hasn’t been the hand dealt to Quiett, but we’re fortunate to hear the musical result.” -Doug Hill, The Norman Transcript

“Just My Luck is clearly a big step towards “Stardom”. The fact is that this is a mature work. Anyone who seeks blues full of variety without having clichés of most productions is in the right place.” -Ronny Bervoets , www.rootstime.be, Belgium (Quotes translated by Google – Read full review in Dutch)— Ronny Bervoets ,Belgium , www.rootstime.be

“Take the steely blues guitar sound from Stevie Ray Vaughn, match it with the rhythmic bass and drumming of Golden Earring and you get the Terry Quiett Band and one heck of a show. ”— Adam Reichenberger, Kansas State Collegian

“ A slow blues/rock song ala Johnny Lang, Derek Trucks, Stevie Ray, and The Black Crowes, that puts all the elements of the genre; soulful singing, laid back rhythms, and stinging, crying in your beer, guitar licks,in perfect harmony with one another. ”— Sole2Heart,Jessup, Pennsylvania , Public Review by Garage Band.com

“The Terry Quiett Band and the CD “Cut the Rope” It’s always refreshing for me to hear a unique Sound, a Tone that makes you wanna jump up and hit the Dance Floor…A Tone that dives Deep to the Soul of the Matter and The Terry Quiett Band gives me that. Terry Quiett is on the launching Pad!”- JaBeaux The Friday Afternoon Club 1pm MST Gumbo YaYa Friday Mornings, KVNF Home Grown Community Radio kvnf. org

“CUT THE ROPE. Gawdamighty this CD is hot. If heaven is a blues bar,then TQB will be the house band. TQB evokes some of the classic rock and blues greats Clapton, Walter Trout, Robin Trower,Stevie Ray. Another round of beer here. Then put on TQB as loud as it can go and let me just plain enjoy. ”— Cap’n Barney ODD ROCK WMHB 89.7 FM in Maine , WMHB 89.7 FM in Maine

“ With a tone reminicient of Cream,Cut the Rope begins with a tuff hook that carries the song throughout. Displayed excellent use of vocals that had a good blues rock quality and the perfect chemistry for this band.Will no doubt entertain a crowd.Put this on the set list just like it is! ”— fubillt from Gainesville, Georgia, Musicians review from GarageBand.com
