Fergus performs in the WCUW FRONTROOM

Fergus is a five piece contemporary Irish group from Worcester, Massachusetts. The band performs the songs of Irish songwriters and arrangers of the last 60 years, original songs and arrangements, and traditional Irish Music. The sound of Fergus blends elements of American music (jazz, funk, rock, country) and world music (electronica, Indian, Latin, Celtic) with Irish music in an acoustic setting. Since its formation, the band has become one of the most sought after Irish bands in New England.

Fergus was formed in 2007 as a trio (Voice, Guitar, Bass), the band quickly found itself in demand through out New England. They released their first EP Seven Hills in early 2008, the CD sold out within the first six months. In 2009 Fergus became a five piece (adding drums and fiddle) in an effort to realize a larger sound for the band. They went into the studio in late 2009 to record their first full-length CD Green St.

Fergus has performed at festivals and clubs through out New England and opened for artists such as Lunasa, Derek Warfield And The Young Wolfe Tones, Benny McCarthy and Oisin McAuley of Danu, and Rattle the Boards. The band has also had the privlege of performing for former President Willam Jefferson Clinton as well as many former and present senators, congressmen, and prominent Massachusetts
