Terry Blade is an American singer-songwriter and music video director based in the Chicago metropolitan area.[1][2] He has released multiple studio albums, including American Descendant of Slavery, the Album (2021),[3] Neo Queer (2022),[4] Ethos: Son of a Sharecropper (2023),[5] and Chicago Kinfolk: The Juke Joint Blues (2025).[6]

His work frequently incorporates archival audio, explores themes of race, sexuality, and inter-generational memory,[5][7] and has been highlighted by reviewers for its minimalist production and baritone vocal delivery.[8][9]

His work has also received recognition, premiering at Tribeca Festival,[10] and winning a Clio Music Award for Use of Music Craft,[11] a Shorty Impact Award for Arts & Culture,[12] and First Place in the Blues category of the 2023 American Songwriter Song Contest.[13][14]

Early life

[edit]

Blade was born and raised in Washington, DC.[8] His family heritage is rooted in the American South; his grandparents were from the region, and his grandfather specifically hailed from Colerain, North Carolina.[7][4] His great-grandfather was a sharecropper, and his grandfather was taken out of school at a young age to work.[7]

By age 12, Blade had regularly experienced homophobia.[7] He has stated that growing up Black, gay, and gender non-conforming was "rough" and "one of the most painful experiences" he "didn't think [he] would survive".[7]

Blade relocated to Chicago, Illinois.[8] He later began keeping a private journal, and in 2020, began turning his journal entries into songs.[15]

Career

[edit]

Blade debuted his acoustic demo "The Unloveable" on April 3, 2020; the track received a nomination at the 11th Hollywood Music in Media Awards[16] and later appeared as the opening song on his EP Misery, released on May 8, 2020.[17] That same year, he released the a cappella single "The 'Karen' Blues," which was described by musician Adeem the Artist as "witty and biting."[18]

Blade's debut studio album, American Descendant of Slavery, the Album, was released on February 5, 2021.[3] Critics noted that the release combined folk, rock, and soul elements[19] with spoken word excerpts from 1941 of formerly enslaved African Americans.[3][8] Adeem the Artist highlighted the album's track "MTF" for drawing parallels to real-world cases involving violence against black transgender women.[20] The Archives of African American Music and Culture’ included the album among its "February 2021 Black Music Releases of Note".[21] The album later won a Summit Creative Award for audio and a Graphis Award for cover art design.[22][23]

On January 14, 2022, Blade released his second studio album, Neo Queer.[4] Days later, he was featured on Frankie Francis's Amazing Afternoons broadcast on Amazing Radio.[24]

Blade released the blues single "Won’t Be Around" on January 6, 2023.[1] The song received a Hollywood Independent Music Award nomination[25] and entered the New Music Weekly Country Up & Coming chart following national radio airplay.[26] Blade directed and produced the song's music video, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.[27] It was later selected by the Mill Valley Film Festival.[2] The video received a nomination at the 14th Hollywood Music in Media Awards[28] and was shortlisted at the Cresta Awards.[29] The video won Best Music Video awards at the Bare Bones International Film Festival,[30] Moondance International Film Festival,[31] Prague Independent Film Festival,[32] and the Vienna Independent Film Festival.[33]

Blade's third studio album, Ethos: Son of a Sharecropper, was released on February 3, 2023.[34] The album's cover is a photo by Dorothea Lange from the Library of Congress's Farm Security Administration – Office of War Information Photograph Collection, taken in 1937 of an African-American sharecropper near Clarksdale, Mississippi.[35] Critics noted the work's blending of blues, gospel, and country to explore themes of family history and Southern Black identity.[5] The album received a nomination for Album of the Year: Folk/Americana at the Josie Music Awards, and was included on The Boot's list of "Most Wanted Music: 2023’s Country, Americana, Bluegrass and Folk Album Releases.[34][36] Blade later directed a music video for the album's track "Wasn't Mine", which went on to premiere at the Sidewalk Film Festival in a public screening at the Alabama School of Fine Arts.[37]

On April 10, 2024, American Songwriter Magazine announced Blade as the Blues First place Winner of the 2023 American Songwriter Song Contest for "Won’t Be Around."[13] On June 24, 2024, he appeared on the Glastonbury Festival 2024 Festival Pass broadcast on Amazing Radio.[38] On September 24, 2024, he won two additional Summit Creative Awards for "Won’t Be Around".[22]

On January 3, 2025, Blade released the blues single "Tell ’Em."[39] The track was distributed by Paris-based companies Groover and IDOL,[40] and later added to the digital collection of the Médiathèque départementale de l'Ain in France.[41] In The Big Takeover, reviewer Dave Franklin described "Tell ’Em" as balancing blues tradition with contemporary innovation.[39]

Blade's fourth studio album, Chicago Kinfolk: The Juke Joint Blues, was released on February 28, 2025.[6] The album incorporated archival interviews with Chicago blues figures, including Theresa Needham and Lefty Dizz,[42] and was distributed by Groover and IDOL.[43] French public libraries later added the album to their digital collections, including the Médiathèque départementale de Isère,[43] the Bibliothèque départementale de la Vienne,[44] the Médiathèque départementale du Pas-de-Calais,[45] the Réseau des médiathèques de Toulon[46] and the Médiathèque départementale de l'Ain.[47] While critics highlighted the album for its juke joint atmosphere, musician Ryan Cassata described the project as "a historical preservation effort".[48][49]

On May 21, 2025, Blade was featured on the Download Festival Festival Pass broadcast on Amazing Radio.[50] Two months later, Chicago Kinfolk: The Juke Joint Blues received a nomination for Historical or Vintage Recording at the 2025 Blues Blast Music Awards.[51]The album went on to win a Clio Music Award for Use of Music Craft and Use of Music Innovation,[52] a Shorty Impact Award for Arts & Culture,[12] an Anthem Award for Education, Art & Culture: Special Projects,[53] and a Cresta Award for Innovative Use of Sound/Audio.[54]

On November 21, 2025, Blade was included in Music Connection's "Top 25 New Music Critiques of 2025."[55]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Blade's recordings draw from blues, soul, gospel, country, and folk traditions,[5][6] often arranged with sparse instrumentation and minimal production to emphasize his vocal delivery and narrative focus.[8][17] Critics have described his work as rooted in Black American musical forms while incorporating contemporary singer-songwriter elements,[5][8] and several reviews note his use of documentary-style audio, including archival interviews and spoken-word recordings.[3][56]

Blade's projects frequently reference the historical experiences of Black Americans in both the rural South and urban Chicago, drawing thematic continuity from generational memory and regional identity.[7][5] Reviewers have highlighted his baritone vocal timbre and introspective writing as defining characteristics of his artistic style,[39][57] citing Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper, and Isaac Hayes as influences of his work.[58]

Blade resides in the Chicago metropolitan area.[1] He is queer.[4][59]
