Called "one of New England's best songwriters" by The Boston Globe, award-winning folksinger/guitarist Terry Kitchen performs songs that are portraits of ordinary people and emotions, captured with extraordinary compassion, honesty and humor. He's been performing on folk stages across the country since the 1990s, releasing ten CDs, including his latest, Rubies in the Dust, which is already being heard across the U.S and Canada. His songs have won the Mid-Atlantic and USA Song Contests and been runner-up in the John Lennon Song Contest, and his song "Enjoy It While It Lasts" reached #8 on the national Folk-DJ chart. In the 1980s he was the leader of the groundbreaking Boston band Loose Ties, whose experiences he recounts in his novel Next Big Thing, called "a great debut novel" by The San Francisco Book Review.
