They have been playing around the Eastern U.S. for over twenty years. Their electrifying performances have earned them fans from New England to Florida. The Gears continue to play a busy schedule around the Midwest and on the road. T. D. & the G's have performed in shows with many of the world's greatest Blues and Rock & Roll artists. Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Chuck Berry, Link Wray, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, just to name a few.
The band has received radio air play on each of their CD's. Terry Davidson & the Gears have performed their music on a nationally televised Daytona Beach special.
LEAVE HERE RUNNIN' is Terry Davidson & the Gears 5th CD. Twelve of the 14 tracks are original songs. The enduring musical relationship between the band members is evident. Drummer Bob "The Wrench" Hanners and Terry have been jammin' since they were in elementary school. Bassist Todd Silas has been a Gear for almost 5 years. Special guests Ray Fuller on harp and Todd "Dr. Fingers" Brown on keys go back many years with Terry as well. One reviewer comments: "The songwriting skillfully blends the band's Blues roots with influences spanning from Jazz to Surf music. The journeymen rhythm section grooves & burns while the raw, stripped down production showcases Terry's sometimes mean, sometimes smooth guitar playing. The harmonica and keyboards give a wonderful texture, never competing to be in the spotlight. Terry's vocals range from laid back and clean as on "Slow and Easy" to low down and dirty as on "Blood", fitting each song nicely. Todd Silas's vocal take on Joe Clayton's "Murderin' Blues" is down right scary. A great set from a seasoned band."
