My name is Eldred Ferguson and the purpose of my music is to venerate the simple country church
While I have performed with groups ranging from church youth choirs to opera companies my most cherished memories are of standing with a congregation of neighbors and friends and just singing from the hymnal.
I hope to recreate the simple beauty of each hymn the way the original creator intended it to sound. I also hope you are inspired each time your phone rings and you hear your favorite hymn.
Next Sunday when you’re sitting in church and the Preacher asks everyone to bow their heads in silent prayer and the only sounds you hear are muffled coughs and fussy children being escorted to the foyer and your phone ringing because you forgot to turn it off before the service started, won’t you be glad that it’s quietly singing “Nearer My God To Thee.”
