Biography

After serving in the United States Army during World War II in the Pacific theater, Terry returned to the U.S. and became active in the St. Louis blues scene in the late 1940s. During the 1950s he played in juke joints all around the St. Louis area. When Boo Boo Davis moved to St. Louis in the 1960s, he joined Terry's band for a time. In the 1970s, Terry formed his own record label called D.T.P. Records, named after his band, Doc Terry and the Pirates. Terry led the Pirates with vocals and harmonica playing, and was joined by Thomas Johnson on guitar, Nathaniel Thomas on drums, Peter Smorodin on bass, with Patti Thomas providing additional vocals. The Pirates performed mainly around the St. Louis area at venues that included: the USS President, Union Station Biergarten, Broadway Oyster Bar, Webster Grill and Blueberry Hill. In 1988, they were featured on a PBS television documentary about the St. Louis blues scene, which also included blues artists James Crutchfield, James DeShay and George McCoy.
