Craig Ferguson on “Justified”

03.30.10 by Patrick Leave a Comment

Craig Ferguson, Jake Bartfield, & me at my senior recital 12.02.04

It’s quite a surprise to see someone you know on TV. You think you’d be all nonchalant about it, but you usually wind up screaming at everyone in the room “I know him! I know him!”

I had a moment such as this over the weekend while watching a DVR’d episode of the new FX series “Justified”. In this episode, two incarcerated musicians in a prison band loaned to a private party are planning to flee.

So, who did I spot in the band? My fellow Berklee alum Craig Ferguson. Craig and I played many sessions and recitals together. He’s an amazingly skilled and versatile musician, and it was always a rewarding experience to play with him. I was very lucky to snag him for my own senior recital.

Check out his solo album, Nobody but the Moon and Me, on iTunes. Also check out the “real” band, Cliff Wagner & the Old #7 .
