Elliot was truly extraordinary and proved to be a big hit with our party guests. I would highly recommend him and intend to invite him back to my home for future events events.
Response from Eliott Ferguson:
Thanks for the review, David! I had a great time at the dinner party. I love sharing my music and am so glad that you and your guests enjoyed it. I'd love to come back for any future events.
I was at the Iris Dement concert where Scaling Giants opened for her. I thought they blew away the audience with their witty sense of humor and awesome harmonies. It's not just a concert, it's an experience. Iris should have been opening for them. I can't wait to hear Scaling Giants in the future and hope they get booked at more venues so more people can enjoy their music. They are a real treat!

Bio:
Scaling Giants is an acoustic duet with singer-songwriters Eliott Ferguson and Erynne Gemberling. Launched in 2012, the duo sings originals and covers that flow between richly harmonied love songs, to playful humor.
Eliott has been writing songs and playing instruments ranging from guitar to mandolin to drums, to cardboard guitar and pots and pans, since childhood. His clear tenor sound combined with his witty way with lyrics give him a distinct sound. Blending perfectly with that sound are Erynne’s soaring harmonies and wide range of soft-to-belting vocals. Their ‘give and take’ onstage presence reflects their offstage song writing creativity – resulting in a range of songs from sweet humor to intense passion, and always with a kick.
The duo has opened for Grammy nominated Iris Dement, and has performed at festivals, concerts and fund raisers.
Their five song EP, “Abstract Colours” was released in June 2012 and is available for download at their website.
A music video ("Bright Colors") is available on YouTube, along with other performance clips.
