Damon Terrell the Man & his Music
Detroit-born multi-instrumentalist Damon Terrell, 2026 D.B.M.A. Best Jazz Artist, plays two shows at Cliff Bell's in Detroit on Thursday, November 12, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Expect funk jazz with touches of rock, blues and Latin. Tickets are $25.

Damon Terrell was born in Detroit and raised in Highland Park. His grandmother bought him his first guitar when he was 17, and he taught himself from there. Prince, Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix shaped him early, with Yanni and smooth jazz artists coming later. He built his own sound from funk jazz with a hint of rock, blues and Latin.
His album In my life earned a nomination for Best Inspirational Jazz Album, and Transformation brings an urban 70s-style twist. On stage he's known for high-energy, intense guitar playing delivered with a smooth, elegant style.
Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner, and seating for Dinner & a Show begins at 6 p.m. Seating for the second show starts at 9 p.m.
