Biography

Jonathan Ferguson

With thought provoking lyrics, catchy melodies, and a guitar style all his own, folk-rock singer/songwriter Jonathan Ferguson is on his way to establishing himself as one of Canada's most promising emerging talents.

Listening to his songs, one can't help but hear undeniably human stories, full of detail and emotion. But like many songwriters in the genre before him, Ferguson's songs are rarely about himself.

"Folk-rock music is about the people," he says, "The best songs, to me, are the ones that everyone can hear a little bit of themselves in."

Complimenting the writing is a percussive, half picking, half strumming guitar style, which is exciting both to hear and to watch.

Displaying a relaxed, boy-next door demeanour, Ferguson forms an intimate connection with his audience that is seldom seen in today's world of flashy entertainment superstars.

"For better or for worse, I'm always in my living room up on stage", he jokes "it's like really loud charades".

So take a seat on the couch, lean in, and pay attention--Jonathan Ferguson has a lot to say, and the way he says it is folking awesome.
