FERRIS brings together four musicians from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mixing notes of jazz, funk, pop, and blues, FERRIS adds some new spice to the music scene. In 2009, FERRIS released it's debut album "Dancing With Architects" at its CD release show at Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis.
The band formed in 2005 when keyboardist and lead singer Dustin Hatzenbuhler began to meld his pop influences with the jazz training of his three good friends. The fusion of the songwriting and individual instrumentation was instantaneous as FERRIS began to collaborate on original music and to play live shows.

High Noon Saloon said my draw there was about five times what they had the previous Labor Day, and they'd love to have me back. What do you guys think?
