TERRY STILES

Born and raised in Kenora, Ontario, Terry was co-founder of “The Tempests.” He remained with the band throughout his high school years as rhythm guitarist and vocalist and quit the band (Satan and the D-Men) shortly after the Buddy Knox Tour to pursue his education. In the years that followed, he continued to perform all types of music in many Kenora musical groups including, “The Wayne Coner Quartet,” “The Delegated Authority,” Paxton’s Backstreet Carnival,” “Verna Maki’s Orchestra” and “Whiskeyjack.”

In 1979, he travelled throughout Western Canada with “Whiskeyjack” and eventually settled down, married and raised a family, living in such locations as Edmonton, Alberta, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Kindersley, Saskatchewan and Kenora, Ontario. In 1982, He received his “Certified Hospital Orderly” course certificate from Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Terry is currently retired and resides in Thunder Bay with his fiancee.

An earlier writing project resulted in the recording of a 12 song cassette called, “Music With A Message - For Children.” The entire cassette was written by Terry and he performs the complete musical background as well on synthesizer and guitar. It has sold exceptionally well and is still available upon request at a cost of only $10.00.

Terry is presently playing with a group called “The Fabulous Rocker Brothers Band” and is helping to keep 60’s music alive in Thunder Bay and area. These fellows were chosen to perform at the 2005 Thunder Bay Blues Festival in July with such notable musicians as “John Mayall & The Blues Breakers,” “Dr. John,” “Commander Cody,” and "Ricky Skaggs." An excellent CD of the Rocker Brother's music is available.
