Jacqueline Terry is a park ranger and will soon be heading out to Glacier National Park in Montana for a five-month stint. But along with her love of nature and educating the public about conservancy, she’s a budding singer-songwriter. It was just three months ago that Terry found the nerve to play her first open mic. That was at Foggy Mountain Brew Pub. Her gypsy-freak-pop performance earned immediate fans — and a chance to open for The Dubber. She wisely took that momentum and recorded her debut EP, Backbones, whose songs, she says, “highlight the sacred feminine, stewardship of the earth, tantric sex, death [and] reverence for existence.” Terry launches that album at Altamont Brewing Co. on Thursday, May 7, at 9 p.m. Free. altamontbrewing.com.
