2016 Documentary – The Terry Kath Experience

‘The Terry Kath Experience’ is a documentary about a daughter discovering the memories and extraordinary talents of her father, the late Terry Kath. Kath was o…ne of the founding members of the band Chicago. His powerful guitar playing and husky, melodic voice has been praised by such icons as Jimi Hendrix, Joe Walsh and Eric Clapton.

Terry’s daughter Michelle was only two years old when he passed. Though he lived through his music, she wanted to get to know who he was as a person and as a musician to understand the father he would have been. In this documentary, Michelle interviews her dad’s family, bandmates, and good friends, as well as prominent musicians, to piece together this rock legend.

Message From Michelle:

“The idea to make a film about my father came to me many years ago when, in looking through old photos of him, I realized that I didn’t know his full story. I’ve since learned that his is the quintessential story of an all-American boy raised in the midwest, who, at a young age, picks up a guitar, falls in love with it, and goes on to become a famous 70’s rock star. With all the highs and lows that come along with success, my father’s life ended suddenly before my 3rd birthday.

My journey of discovery began with the first interview. I could only have dreamed that making this film would bring me this much closer to my father and would help me better understand the man he was and the decisions he made. Meeting these people and hearing their stories are memories that will stay with me forever. I am forever grateful to all that have helped me to take this journey and to discover this man.”
