According to the show’s team, Ferguson was selected as a top ten act because, “His voice is rich and full, and he coaxes a lovely sound out of the mandolin—there’s a lot to like here.” Like the others on the top ten list, his music “just kept rising to the top when it came time to reach for something to play.”
Ferguson also maintains a popular YouTube music channel under the nickname ‘The Bard of Cornwall.’ His channel boasts over 27,000 subscribers and almost 9 million views.
