This Trinity Bay native first created quite a stir on the Newfoundland music scene in January 1998. A live performance by Terri Lynn and her band was televised across Canada (CPAC) on July 1st, 1998. Due to the positive response of that broadcast, the same producers filmed a television documentary entitled "How Do You Like Me So Far - Terri Lynn Eddy", which aired on CBC television in December 1998.
