Terry Jones Rogers was born in Corpus Christi,TX on June 11,1953, the 2nd son born to a singing, guitar playing Naval officer Tom Rogers Jr., and a singing, ukelele strumming Sara Jane Rogers.
After several moves, the family settled in Macon,GA, a town with a rich music heritage, which certainly influenced Terry's love for music, as well as the constant music around the Rogers house. After experiencing a standing ovation at age 5, singing his first solo in church, Terry's path was chosen. The Rogers Family, his brother Tom and mother Sara as well as Grandfather Jones on occasion, soon were performing in churches in Georgia and Alabama.
In 1969, Terry teamed with fellow Maconite Mark Heard, and formed the group Infinity+3, recording an album of original songs in 1970. College years in Athens,Georgia brought a new band called Hawkeye, leading to opening shows for Goose Creek Symphony. After returning to Macon in 1973, Terry teamed with Bill Pound and Buddy Greene, calling the trio Rogers, Pound & Greene. 3 days after forming, Rogers, Pound & Greene opened the show for It's A Beautiful Day, James Gang and Brownsville Station. When Greene returned to his college education, The Pound & Rogers Band was formed, recording at Capricorn Studios with famed producer Paul Hornsby, and Pyramid Studios on Lookout Mt. with English producer Michael Stewart, and touring the East Coast through the rest of the 70's.
