John Terlazzo is a Singer / Songwriter, Poet, Painter & Storyteller with hundreds of songs, a dozen albums and 50 years of performance experience to his name. His work has been referred to as "Marc Chagall gone aural" and "Leonard Cohen meets Rumi" and Music critic Jim Allen (whose work appears in Rolling Stone, All Songs Considered, and more) wrote, "Terlazzo belongs to the same lineage of songpoets as Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, but also the 15th century's John Dowland, Virgil of the first century B.C., and Homer from an even earlier time" and "Suffice it to say that Terlazzo slings words with enough power and precision to reach the heart and the head with equal impact."

Terlazzo's first album, Honor Among Thieves (1983) has recently become a kind of international curiosity when a writer in Sweden reviewed the album in a book about "Hidden Gems, folk & psychedelic music from 1965 through 1985". As a result, the album - as well as Terlazzo's more recent works - have been selling throughout Europe, Canada and Asia (& even some in the U.S.!). A CD re-issue of the album has recently come out under the title HONOR AMONG THIEVES – A RETROSPECTIVE, including an additional 30 minutes of Live performance from the late 1970s.
