NY Singer/Songwriter Terence Martin At Ridgefield Playhouse On April 23, 2009 With Colin Hay

Ridgefield, CT. (Top40 Charts/ Ridgefield Playhouse) - Singer/ songwriter/poet Terence Martin will be making his first appearance at the Ridgefield Playhouse on Thursday, April 23rd, as the special guest for Colin Hay. Terence will be showcasing songs from his most recent CD, Even Trade, his most personal and ambitious work to date, with roots in folk, Americana and pop. Sing Out magazine says: 'If you're a connoisseur of exceptional songwriters, this CD is essential for your collection.'

Terence's previous CDs, Lost Hills, Sleeper, Waterproof & his debut, Division Street have all received national radio airplay & excellent reviews. "Familiar Mysteries', a song from Waterproof, was selected for the title track on the second CD from the Garland Appeal, the charity for breast cancer research started in memory of Linda McCartney and sanctioned by her husband Paul McCartney.

Terence has shared the stage with an impressive line-up of national acts, including Rosanne Cash, Roger McGuinn, Christine Lavin, Dar Williams, and Richie Havens. He's performed on the Most Wanted Stage at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, been a New Folk winner at the NJ Folk Festival, a finalist in theMountain Stage New Song Contest, received honorable mention in the Mid Atlantic Song Contest for 'East of the River' and performed at the Boston Folk Festival.

"Terence Martin claims Richard Thompson, Greg Brown, and Bruce Cockburn as some of his songwriting heroes - with good reason. Maybe he should add Ernest Hemingway, too. He shares with them a clarity of expression, a sense of place, and a gift for the telling phrase. His new CD 'Even Trade' is another display of his mastery." (John Platt, WFUV Radio)

'Martin is a poet in the greatest sense of the word.' (Singer & Musician magazine)
