Terry Hatty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terry Hatty is a Canadian rock singer. Terry was born on January 3rd. In 2005, he, along with Matt Minglewood, Mike Ross and a number of Canadian musicians, starred in a production called "Canada Rocks." The show played through the summers of 2005 & 2006 at the Confederation Center in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. In 2006, "Canada Rocks" added the talents of three-time ECMA Award Winner Joey Kitson to the spotlight. Canada Rocks! was co-created by Hatty, Doug Gallant, Wade Lynch and Hank Stinson. The production was work shopped at the Charlottetown Festival's David MacKenzie Theater in 2005 to overwhelmingly positive response and brought to the festival's main stage the following season. The shows' creators considered more than 700 songs from 50 years of Canadian rock, pop, folk, country and traditional music before editing that list down to a more workable 200. Terry was one of the lead vocalists for a Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman-less The Guess Who fronted by bass player Jim Kale, who originally left the group in 1973, 2 years before the group dissolved. After the original The Guess Who had broke up in 1975, Kale registered the name before Bachman or Cummings had a chance to do so. A new The Guess Who studio album with vocalist Terry Hatty was released in 1995, but virtually no attention was paid to it in the mainstream press.

Hatty also sang background vocals in 1991 on Canadian glam metal band Harem Scarem's debut self-titled album.

Hatty also fronted the Nova Scotia Band Ram who, in 1980 released an album on Pickwick International entitled Soundtrack For Pegasus 1; Unfortunately after the album was released, Pickwick was busted for international record piracy and all product was removed from stores and put in a warehouse in Toronto. The album did not see the light of day after this.

Today, Terry Hatty is a main character in British Invasion at the Confederation Center. He is also in a minor role in Anne of Green Gables and appeared in the musical Shear Madness.

Terry currently resides in Prince Edward Island.
