Kristen Ferguson

A third generation Kitsap County musician, Kristen comes from a long line of players. Raised by professional musician parents, her upbringing was steeped in musicianship. She is a multi instrumentalist and draws inspiration from the music she was raised on: Country, Bluegrass, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Jazz & Classical.

Kristen's strong instrumental skills and uniquely striking vocals bring the listener deep into the core of a song. With a distinct talent for translating old music to new audiences, hearing her is a powerfully connective experience that transcends generations and genres. She has cultivated a deep understanding of repertoire through the combination of her childhood exposure and education, including completing the two year Theory and Composition Program at Olympic College studying under bassist and educator Rick White. .

Alongside her solo work, she was part of a female-led Roots/Americana band "The Outskirts", and currently performs as Ferguson & Co, a Bluegrass style duo with her Dad, National Flat Pick Champion Roger Ferguson. She also performs as Bannister & Maine with Anne Mathews and occasionally as The Everblues with Tammy Frost.
