ABOUT

 

About Chris Ferguson                   

 

I began playing bass when I was 13 years old. It was a natural fit and I have been studying, performing, teaching and playing bass now for about 45 years. A gradutate of Musician's Institute in Hollywood, California and a devoted lifetime student of the instrument, my experiences have given me an understanding of the role and function of the bass in many different musical styles.

My musical experiences have allowed me to perform music in genres which include jazz, rock, big band, singer-songwriters,  and everything in between.

I have been a sideman and band leader and have worked on major stages, in famous recording studios, in small coffee shops, bars and major festivals together with famous musicians and many, hard working musicians earning a living playing music. 

Currently I live in both Northern Alabama and Seattle during different times of the year. A result of this has allowed me to participate in many different musical projects, most of which have been recording projects for the last couple of years.
