CD Release Celebration for Dave McGraw and Mandy Fer

This internationally-acclaimed songwriter duo just happens to live on San Juan Island!

Dave and Mandy have been touring extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe and will be back on the island with a live concert celebrating the release of their new album, Maritime, which captures a moment in time and place from their seaside home.

Upon early release in Europe, Maritime charted at #1 on the EuroAmericana Chart for two consecutive months and ranked among the Top Albums of 2014 by The Telegraph, praising it for “…soulful songs, intuitive musicianship and fine singing.”

“Maritime”, was recorded live on San Juan Island (not the video above) in a home, at the end of a dirt road, amidst towering evergreens. The duo called on their cohort of kindred musicians and producers to come together from across the country to make what they were calling their “island record.”  Unique in its authenticity—navigating the waters of folk, indie-rock, and rootsy Americana—the album is emotive, raw and honest.

Dave and Mandy met in Arizona in 2010, relocating to the Pacific Northwest two years later.  Together, their exceptional vocal harmonies coupled with Mandy’s pioneering electric guitar work have become a vehicle to carry them around the world…and when they can, back to the island home they love.

See them here, live at the San Juan Community Theatre, Saturday, March 21 at 7:30 pm. All tickets $15.00 – Buy your tickets now at www.sjctheatre.org or call the Box Office at 360-378-3210.
