The Urban Angels are Terry Sarten on guitar and vocals, with John Scudder, double bass, and Chester Neville on drums. Chester and John, with their background in jazz and blues, bring a wonderful swing and warm rhythmic feel into the band.

The show’s title, “Song for Movies Never Made” provides a frame for a set of originals and covers that tell stories without pictures, allowing the audience to form their own visual background to the songs.

The setlist will be a mix of songs written by well-known local musician and singer songwriter Terry Sarten plus covers of some classic “story” songs from great songwriters such as John Prine and Bob Dylan.

Terry describes his own compositions as being “like a family. You can hear that the songs are siblings but each has its own individual sound and story.”
“Don't Surrender” is a favourite with his audiences, who often sing along with the choruses. This song is about not giving up on your values, the things that are important to you. He wrote it for his daughter when she moved away to study – then some years later he got to play it at her wedding as a waltz.

Another of Terry’s songs plays like a little movie, telling in three minutes the story of the soldier and the dancer. She loves him but he dies in the war and she tells him over his grave – too late for him to ever know.
