"Singer/songwriters Dave McGraw and Mandy Fer have a knack for capturing the passionate beauty of original contemporary folk music.

"It’s pretty much impossible not to be blown away by local singer-songwriter Mandy Fer. After performing with a couple funk/rock/jam bands, Fer struck out solo and has been gaining attention ever since with her masterful guitar style and sweet, sultry voice...Her percussive Ani DiFranco-esque guitar work and sweet songwriting have been thoroughly captivating local audiences for a few years." -Flag Live!
