Terry McDermott is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and television personality. He performs internationally as the lead singer of Terry Mac & The Order and Lotus Crush. Although he gained initial acclaim in the music business in 2006 with his band Driveblind on Geffen records, he shot to widespread popularity as a contestant on Team Blake of Season 3 on NBC’s The Voice. Terry finished second overall that season, making the itunes Rock Chart Top 10 a number of times while on the show, singing before a television audience of nearly 15 million people on the season finale. Following the show McDermott hit the itunes rock chart Top 20 three times including the No.1 single ‘Pictures’ which was later performed on NBC’s The Voice as a guest, returning to the top of the rock chart for a 2nd time.
His time on The Voice earned him a loyal and active fan base that closely follows his career. In addtion to singing on the show, McDermott was honoured to once again be asked back by NBC, this time as a digital host for Season 5, interviewing contestants. Later that year, the well travelled vocalist sang to a live TV audience in Ho Chi Minh City performing as a special guest on The Voice Vietnam.
McDermott is a proud resident of his adopted hometown of New Orleans with his wife and two young children. A native of Aberdeen in Scotland, McDermott performs with his New Orleans founded Terry McDermott Band and as the frontman of Lotus Crush, a Seattle based rock group founded in partnership with Peter Klett formerly of Candlebox. McDermott has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe and continues to perform around the globe.
Solo single 'Lost Again', produced by Grammy Award winner John Jones, reached number 1 on the Amazing Radio Top 40 in the UK, October 2016 as the supporting European tour came to a close in Scotland. As a session vocalist he has recorded for the likes of a Japanese Coke commercial and for Warren Cuccurullo of Duran Duran, plus as a member of former Inxs frontman Ciaran Gribbins international firm 'Rock And Roll Team Building'. A blossoming career as a voice actor has seen McDermott take roles in video games and an upcoming animated series.
Latest album 'Beautiful Destruction' arrived May 4th 2018 and McDermott continued to tour on both sides of the Atlantic through 2019. Touring has now been curtailed due the global pandemic, but McDermott will debut a new record and project with the release of Terry Mac & The Order's record in late 2022.
Delighted to be heading back to Creston, Iowa with Tetry Mac And The Order guitarist Georgi Petrov. We'll be performing tracks including forthcoming album tunes On July 30th at Eagles Club in Creston.
