The 8 Tracks

David played guitar and sang in several bands in the Boston area for years before packing up and relocating to Phoenix. He was just a teenager when he played his first club gig at the infamous Rathskellar in Kenmore square, situated in the shadow of another Boston landmark, Fenway Park. He’s played rock, soul, blues, funk, pop, and just wants to see everyone having a good time on the dance floor. Busting out classic guitar licks and singing it like he means it is what he does, and he’s excited to be part of The 8 Tracks.

Jason Ferguson found the guitar at the age of six. He started to play professionally at the age of 19 in and around his hometown of Vancouver, Canada.
