Born in Taralga, NSW, Terry was just five when his father took him to see ‘Tex Morton’s Wild West Show’. He decided there and then that he was going to be a Country Music Star and by age sixteen, he was playing guitar in a band; in his early twenties he was working as a solo performer on the Sydney pub circuit.

Constantly in demand for work, he has appeared on most of the major variety shows, as well as on specialised CM TV programs. In the mid-eighties, Terry had his own live weekly TV show on Tamworth’s NEN 9. He was inducted into the Hands of Fame at Tamworth in 1981.

Terry Gordon was honored with the coveted award of Country Music Entertainer of the year 1993, not only as a tribute to his recent touring and   recording success, but also as a mark of respect for his 30 continuous years as a multi-talented performer. Since beginning his distinguished  recording career, he has released 25 singles and 20 albums.

His versatility as a balladeer, songwriter, bush poet, comedy performer and TV host has established Terry as one of CM’s finest entertainers. During a career of continuous travel, he has criss-crossed the length and breadth of Australia literally dozens of times. Terry has performed in all kinds of venues – from weather-beaten tents to the most modern TV studios and entertainment centers. On stage he has worked alongside such local CM legends as Tex Morton, Chad Morgan, Slim Dusty and just about all the greats of the industry.

In 2005 Terry was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for his services to  Country Music.
