   About Brian Ferguson
myspace backgrounds

Husband/Musician/Drummer...blessed to make a living playing drums....studio and live.

Currently, Brian performs with Texas based country artists Eleven Hundred Springs. He has toured throughout the US and Canada, and has played in Europe several times.

Brian’s knowledge and respect for the history of the instrument has given him the ability to authentically blend into a wide variety of styles including jazz, rock, country, soul, blues and gospel. Brian is most at home playing the right part for the song and supporting the musicians around him.

This approach has enabled Brian to perform/record/tour with a wide variety of great artists: soul singer Curtis Salgado, blues guitarists Mike Morgan and the Crawl, jazz organist Red Young, song writers such as Hope Cassity and Jon Christopher Davis, and gospel artist Quinten Hope and Prestonwood Baptist Church to name a few. While with Curtis Salgado, Blues Review Magazine called Brian’s playing “…totally on the money rhythmically, while keeping the loose feel that soul music requires.”

Brian resides just outside of Dallas, TX with his wife and 3 dogs. He maintains a busy performance, teaching and recording schedule.


Eleven Hundred Springs live at the Granada Theater.

Hey Brian, it's going great! The tracks sound fantastic! It's going slower than I'd like, but that's the deal sometimes. I had a last-minute brainstorm and re-recorded Too Green to Burn in 4/4 time. It's more danceable and I think more marketable.

Everything sounds great and your tracks are awesome! I can't wait to get it finished.


Thanks again amigo!!!
