Dave McGraw & Mandy Fer

McGraw spent a decade as a wildlife biologist, working everywhere from Mexico to the Grand Canyon. Fer logged some time in Spain, where she studied music and local culture. Together, the two songwriters have built a music career on those travels, into a mix of rich, detailed folk music and rootsy Americana.

Dave & Mandy's debut duo album, Seed of a Pine showed the duo's striking ability to blend their lush folk and Americana-influenced styles is on full display.

McGraw and Fer have amassed an admirable résumé and an ever-expanding fan base during their time playing music together. Having toured Europe and the U.S. from coast to coast, performing in highly esteemed theaters to intimate listening rooms, the pair has honed their skills sharing stages with fellow troubadours including Iron & Wine, Willy Porter, The Swell Season, Kelly Joe Phelps, Jeffrey Foucault and many others.
