Terri's love of all music shows in her songwriting and performance....Blues, Jazz, Country, Folk.....even a little Opera thrown it.

Butch Hancock
What a thrill to have a Texas Legend like Butch Hancock at CHC! Butch's songs filled the room with a sense of place.....from the plains of the Panhandle to the desert of the Big Bend area, It was fun to see him energized by the audience, play guitar and harmonica and sing his way across Texas. Thanks Butch...we loved every minute of it!... CHC
