	Musicians - Jay Ferguson

Jay Ferguson (born October 14, 1968) is a member of the Canadian rock band Sloan. He is the only member in Sloan who originally comes from Halifax, Nova Scotia. When he was 12, he was given a job at a secondhand record store by Paul Zimmerman and was paid $2.50 an hour. Before Sloan, he was in a band with Chris Murphy called Kearney Lake Road. In 1991 Jay and Chris started Sloan along with Patrick Pentland and Andrew Scott. Jay plays rhythm guitar and occasionally bass and drums. His favorite food is shrimp. Jay's most famous songwriting contributions are probably 'I Hate My Generation' from the album Twice Removed and 'The Lines You Amend' from One Chord To Another. Jay writes poppier numbers, and his more gentle stature in the band serves this justice. Jay is also the quieter one in the group, although this seems to be a great attraction from women in crowds at many Sloan shows.

In 2005, Halifax musician Mary Cobham released an album about the Sloan member called Songs in the Key of Jay, which explores themes of Teenie-Bop magazines and her long-standing crush on Jay.
