In Memory of
Terry Workman

     Sadly, on May 2, 2024, our community – including Tri-State Community Concert Association – lost a music icon with the passing of Terry Workman. Terry was well known keyboard musician for over 50 years as the heart and soul of the Chinese Bandits. As many of you who have followed our concerts for years know, the Chinese Bandits – especially Terry – was a constant support system to our concerts. He worked tirelessly to coordinate with the entertainers, provided much needed equipment and worked out the ‘bugs’ bands would encounter. Everyone in the community knew Terry … and respected him. Without Terry (and his Chinese Bandits), we would not be here today. We sure miss him (and his funny band stories) terribly.​​

     The Tri-State Community Concert Association is honored to dedicate the remaining 2024 Rockin’ Classics concert season in memory of Terrence “Terry” Workman. We also send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Paula, son Chris Workman, his family Charity, Rachel, Billie, Austin and his many, many music and community friends.​

     Paula, THANK YOU for lending us your husband on many a concert night. He meant the world to us – and to our music community.

     As the Righteous Brothers said … “If there’s a rock n roll heaven, well you know they’ve got a hell of a band.” And Terry is sitting in, that we are very sure.

Rest easy, Terry. We got this.
