Terry Longshore

Versatile doesn’t even begin to describe my first guest. Terry Longshore is a percussionist, composer, teacher and performer. From collaborating with multi-media artists to composing live music for dance and theatre to premiering works by today’s most ground-breaking composers, his musical resume is impressive and unique. When he’s not performing around the world, you can find Terry teaching young musicians as Professor of Music at the Oregon Center for the Arts at Southern Oregon University.

From banker to drummer, Terry shares his unusual journey to music. We talk techniques and tips for young musicians, how he balances his professional and personal life and what inspires him as an artist.
