The Spice of Life with Special Guest TERENCE HANSEN

Enjoy participating as a Facebook Live studio audience while TERENCE HANSEN and BROOKE “MADAME” MACKINTOSH collaborate on a once-in-a-lifetime performance of originals and taking requests as a duo in the round!

For more than 20 years, virtuoso guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer Terence Hansen has been performing his own compositions, popular standards, and classics to audiences in the USA and Europe using his version of the tapping technique on two guitars simultaneously—while singing. Terence’s music has pop, prog rock, jazz, funk, Latin, ambient, and blues influences, with lyrics and vocals reminiscent of Pink Floyd. Terence performs on his unique Dutch-made custom-built ‘crossed neck’ acoustic and electric Heeres guitars.

Terence’s unusual approach to guitar playing has been featured on tracks with Rik Hoogendoorn (actor), Richard Heijerman (Herman Brood), Rich Wyman (Van Halen), Jos Van Oost, Isaiah Stewart, Randy Brecker (Brecker Brothers), Tom Scott (Joni Mitchell), Deodato (Earth Wind and Fire), and Jamie Glaser (Jean Luc Ponty), Hugh McDonald (Bon Jovi), as well as movie soundtracks, toys, aquariums, and commercials. Terence has opened for artists such as Robert Palmer, Jennifer Batten, Gary Hoey, Neil Zaza, and Bumblefoot, as well as headlined Zappanale 22 (Germany), the Spijkenisse Festival (Holland), the Den Haag Guitar Festival, Guitar Nation (London), Hellevoutsluis Guitar Festival, and has been featured in GitaarPlus Magazine and recently GuitarWorld.com.

Terence was also a subject of the Dutch-made documentary film Two Men and Their Guitarz (2017) and is featured in the concert movie, BeatALS (2018). Terence’s 10th album, Baktune (2018) is his first purely instrumental album with his crossed-neck acoustic guitar trio. Terence was recently awarded Best Independent Live Artist of 2019 and Best Guitarist 2020 by Scorpius Magazine.

Terence will be releasing his 12th solo album of original music titled The Ballad of Ben and Ivy in the Fall of 2021.
