Terry Bean


Terry Bean has decades of experience with the blues. A lifelong resident of Pontotoc, Mississippi, his early idol was Little Walter. He has played harmonica with James "T-Model" Ford, Asie Payton and Lonnie Pitchford. Following the lead of Arkansas bluesman, John Weston, Bean uses a harmonica rack and performs as a one-man band.  Dedicated to keeping older styles of the blues alive, Terry has released six self-produced CDs since 2002.
