Ma Ferguson

Austin, Texas' Original Bad - Ass Southern Rock Band! The band takes their name from Miriam M.A. (Ma) Ferguson, the first woman Governor of the State of Texas. Formed in 1994 in Austin Texas, Ma Ferguson has become Austin, Texas' Premier Southern Rock Band. Founding members Jay D. Chaffe and Tom Gideon met through mutual friends and formed the core of what has become one of the best live performance bands in the Austin area! With a true Southern Rock line-up including two screaming lead guitarists - Jay D. Chaffe, Paul Deitz, bass guitarist - Tom Gideon, and drummer - Stevie Ray Mohl, this band has awesome stage presence unlike any other in Austin and the interplay among the musicians is incredible! Not since the great Southern Rock bands of the 1970's has a group of musicians come together to create such a dynamic presence on stage as well as in their original songs, as Ma Ferguson has! This band is a must see for anyone who appreciates great Southern Rock -n- Roll!
