BluesAngels / Members
Terry 'Tezz' Carlan
Audio Engineer Bassist Drummer Songwriter VocalistAfter a couple years hiatus, Tezz is back with the band for NY2024 and beyond on his extraordinary junkyard drumkits, occasional electric bass, smooth crooning vocals on swing, rock and blues, and genially upbeat, thoughtful demeanour. In 2019 he also recorded and mixed all the numbers on the forever upcoming 5-track ep 'Highway of Song' (it's getting closer) and added sound samples previously unheard to a couple of tracks. Also plays guitar and mandolin when the inclination takes him.
