Terry "Dr. Dirty" Anderson Takes You
Back

50 years of living on island time — singing the songs that shaped a generation. Live performances that make people remember who they were.

About

30 Years
On the Island

My name is Terry Anderson. For over 30 years I called the San Juan Islands home — singing in a 60s R&B band for tourists in the summer and locals in the winter. Music was my most enjoyable pastime.

"I'm a Time Traveler. I take audiences back to the songs that had meaning in their youth. When someone says they haven't heard one of their old favorites in years — that's the moment I live for."

Every album on this site was recorded live, improvisationally, in local venues by local musicians. No sound studios. No overdubs. These things actually happened — and if you were there, this site is my thank you.

I play rhythm guitar and love performing acoustically at in-home concerts. My song list spans the late 50s through the early 70s — a treasure chest of old songs for audiences who are close to my age.
