Michael began to write songs after he left 94 West with co-writer Austin Leigh Waters (former guitarist for 94 West.) Their work caught the attention of Sponge guitarist Andy Patalan, who would go on to play guitar on and co-produce the Michael L Ferguson Band’s first EP In Plain Sight with Ferguson.

They are currently playing shows in support of In Plain Sight. The EP, including the single, “As I Wait”, has been downloaded worldwide via ITunes, Amazon, & and many other digital media distributors. Physical copies of the EP have been flying off the shelves (via their website), as well as, their main distributor, CD Baby.
