But, as a teen he was introduced to cars and girls and that, of course, changed everything. When he was 16, he bought a ‘66 Mustang so he would have a sweet ride to take his date to prom in. The car had a radio and the popular music he heard for the first time changed his life. After graduat- ing, he went to work as a record store clerk and bought 665 piec- es of vinyl. Currier still gets that con- tagious excitement of buying your first record gleam in his eye when he’s talking music. His drive working on multiple committees, signing artists, promoting artists focuses on that energy- bringing the sheer joy of music appreciation and the artists that write the songs together. Without Currier’s dedication to artists and fans, in an age where pirated downloads and sharing can keep money out of musician’s wallets, his work is more important than ever. He’s kept up his own battle on that end, as online platforms offer cheap ways to get singles and give little back to the makers, the slower customer foot traffic and rising rents in Portland have put him in a squeeze. With his creative strategies to connect performers and audiences, Cur- rier has helped keep the money flowing and the support going. Along the way, he’s been gifted dozens of awards, with names such as “Keeping the Blues Alive” from the Blues Foun- dation and “Lifetime Achieve- ment Award” from the Cascade Blues Association. While Currier is working with the here and now, he’s also got his eyes on the future. Portland Jazz Festival’s ‘Jazz in Schools’ Program reached 10 schools and 1,500 children last year through a hands on listen- ing opportunity, which focuses on the most important contrib- utors, essential records and the crossover between visual art and the music. Students created their own works of art and next year’s gallery show of their cre- ativity will be held at the Port- land Art Museum. Currier won’t stop anytime soon, his audio library has grown to include 50 thousand titles and a museum quality collection of autographs and memorabilia from his decades in the music world. ‘Terry Cur- rier Day’ also appropriately coincides with the Music Mil- lennium 25th Annual Custom- er Appreciation Barbeque. For Currier, it’s all about sharing the songs with the person next to you. Showdogs is a full service salon.
