Shanghai and the China music scene is losing one of the most outspoken and interesting figures in Brad Ferguson as the Texan prepares to pack up and move back to Austin, TX. Brad’s been around since 2002, managing live venues, producing, building amps, managing and whatever else needed to be done. The man even has his own Rock in China entry. Alas the tides shift and Brad’s heading back, taking wife and Duck Fight Goose drummer Damen with him. Yuyintang is throwing him a goodbye party this weekend, with DFG and a sort-of reunion from Boys Climbing Ropes (G from X is Y on guitar).
If you missed it, here are some of Brad’s greatest hits. His unsmiling mien will be sorely missed.
