Teri's Start
Teri began drumming on a serious level at the age of 13, although she knew she wanted to be a drummer when she was six, when she created her first drum set to jam with Earth, Wind & Fire! Pots, Pans, Tupperware, wooden spoons, and a Folger's coffee can as her "throne" to call her own! Teri started playing in the drum corps in 7th grade and played through Jr. High and high school. She began playing drums professionally at the age of 14 with a family band called The Marcy Brothers, who were signed to Warner Brothers Records and opened for major acts including George Strait, Eddie Rabbit, Johnny Cash, The Oak Ridge Boys, Juice Newton, Roy Clarke, Hwy 101, Keith Whitley, Lacey J. Dalton, Alabama, Exile and many more. That was 26 years ago, and Teri's been playing professionally ever since.
