Terry Kirkman, Frontman and Co-Founder of the Association, Dies at 83

“We’re saddened to report that Terry Kirkman passed away last night, RIP Terry,” reads a post on the Association’s

Early in his California journey, Kirkman played with Frank Zappa, before the late bandleader went on to form the Mothers of Invention. Known for their sharp sense of style and smooth harmonies, the Association opened the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, recognized as the first commercial American rock festival, with a bill including Jimi Hendrix and the Who, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, the Byrds, Canned Heat, and many more. They held their own among the legends of rock, onlookers noted at the time.

Kirkman left the Association at the end of 1972, following the release of seven albums, led by their 1966 debut. He returned to the fold in 1979, splitting once more in 1984 – having had enough of relentless touring.
