Tern Rounders' music paints a richly varied landscape. From the rootsy vistas of fellow songwriter/musicians like Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Emmylou Harris, Townes Van Zandt, to further down the coast to California, warping back to a time where Gram Parsons & The Burrito Bros. flew high over L.A. and the Buffalo Springfield still roamed.

The band has undergone quite a (r)evolution in its short lifespan, from its inception as an acoustic trio to its current electric four piece formation. The vocal harmonies of Kim Noyes and Marc Clayton, who both play guitar, form the centerpiece of the band while drummer Jim Ketterer and bassist Harry Strole complete the Tern Rounders sound.

Tern Rounders has been promoting their debut album "A Different Land" at full tilt all summer, with live shows at such venues as Caffe' Lena and the Albany Public Library Garage. The band founded and hosts a monthly "Moonlight Jamboree: Alt-country Roots Revue" the first Saturday of every month at the Bread and Jam Café in Cohoes - a series that highlights local talent in the folk-rock-country vein, with the goal of fostering a signature gathering place for the capital region's roots music community.
