Terry Smith

Music and sales management has been Terry Smith’s forte since the beginning racking up almost 30 years in the music industry business. His first epiphany w/ the Korg family of brands was when at 16 years old, he walked into his local music store and fired up a newly delivered Marshall 100 watt Super Lead Plexi full stack. It was a moment he never forgot. And this happened in Marshall, MO at the local store, The Vox Box.  After college, Terry graduated w/ a bachelor of music education degree from the University of Central Missouri, w/ an emphasis in guitar, saxophone and cello. After teaching for a few years, Terry embarked on a solid touring schedule for nearly 4 years playing clubs in the Midwest and Lake Tahoe. His performance credits include appearing w/ and working with artists such as blues great Luther Allison, Leon Russell, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Wood Herman’s big band, Velvet Revolver drummer, Matt Sorum, Steely Dan/Doobie Bros guitarist, Jeff Baxter, Asia’s Geoffrey Downes and many others. Currently Terry heads up The Terry Smith Trio blues band who plays in the Mid Missouri area. Check them out at www.reverbnation.com/terrysmithtrio.

Terry’s MI credits include Regional sales manager for Electro-Voice, sales management positions w/ Kaman Corp, Gibson, and retail experience w/ the chain, St Ann School Music Service in the early 80’s.

Terry has been district sales manager for the Midwest w/ Korg USA since 1998 and is excited by the new direction, products, and technologies that are available to Korg’s music dealer network
