Details:
One of the most influential but unknown guitar players, Terry Haggerty is buried treasure. As the guitarist with the Sons of Champlin, Haggerty was always accorded the full respect of his peers; players like:

âIf it wasnât for Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and you (Terry), Iâd just be a blues guitaristâ
Carlos Santana

âTerry was an early influence on my guitar playingâ
Robben Ford

âTerry Haggerty has always been a unique and original player, and a lot of fun to listen to. He is highly inventive, incorporating the tone of rock and the harmonies of jazzâ
Jerry Garcia

âHearing Terry Haggerty in that most special and incredible of 70âs bands, The Sons Of Champlin, was an inspirational turning point for me at 16 and I never looked back. An L-5 through 4 cranked Fender Twins. Jazz-Rock, defined. And the funkiness . . Terryâs fantastic, innovative playing blew open my musical life and the impact still resounds in my own music. â
Wayne Krantz

âA true maverick. . . One of the first I heard who showed me that you donât have to sound like everybody else.â
Mike Miller


He has been known throughout the world, among the guitar cognoscenti, by the handful of recordings he made over the two decades of the Sons' existence.
But even now, as he prepares to release his first solo instrumental recording, he remains something of an unknown.
The great volume of material that Terry has recently created has led to this CD, entitled âTERRY HAGGERTYâ, a sampler of sorts. Some of the songs are home studio studies. Some have been done in a proper recording studio.
All of it is just a precursor to the full blown studio album in progress. Stay tuned.
