Cool John Ferguson Band

When talking about Cool John Ferguson, it is customary to quote the blues musician, Taj Mahal: “[He] is among the five greatest guitarists in the world. He is a force to be reckoned with.” Though he spent much of his career as a sideman, his tone is always clean, fluid, and glistening, and his timing just right. In addition to his infinitely flexible guitar playing, he has been the Director of Creative Development at the Music Maker Relief Foundation since the early nineties, helping bring attention to overlooked blues artists.
