Sway Wild featuring Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw will play The Belfry on Saturday.
S w a y Wi l d , f e a t u r-
ing Mandy Fer and Dave
McGraw, will play The Belfry
in Sisters on Saturday, April 6,
at 7:30 p.m. Sisters musicians
Benji Nagel and Brent Alan
will open the show. Fer and
McGraw have performed at
the Sisters Folk Festival.
The Pacific Northwest-
based songwriter duo voy-
aged further out to sea on
their latest self-produced/
recorded release, <Off-Grid
Lo Fi.= Recorded entirely with
solar- and wind-powered elec-
tricity on a nearly uninhab-
ited, remote, off-grid island
in northwest Washington,
McGraw and Fer have ven-
tured into new territory, both
geographically and artistically.
McGraw and Fer were
invited to a seaside farm to
care-take for four old donkeys
and a flock of chickens for
three months on a non-ferry-
serviced island with a winter
population of fewer than eight
people. Seizing the oppor-
tunity for a solitary writing
residency, the duo loaded all
of their instruments, minimal
recording gear, and groceries
into a tiny 16-foot aluminum
boat and crossed the channel
toward the US/Canadian bor-
der for what they called their
feral adventure.
Pushing wheelbarrows full
of provisions in their rubber
boots, they made their way
to a hand-built cabin where
they recorded Off-Grid Lo-Fi
in a livingroom overlooking
the Pacific inland sea. The
recording setup was basic: No
computer screens or editing,
no auto-tune, all real takes.
The result is a 12-song album
drenched with rich vocal har-
monies, poignant songwrit-
ing, Fer9s potent electric gui-
tar playing, acoustic guitars,
percussion, cello and newly
prominent banjo and piano (all
played by Fer and McGraw).
Off-Grid Lo-Fi is an inti-
mate, authentic and refresh-
ingly honest exploration into
the genres of folk, rock, and
roots music.
Known as a standout
APR
electric guitarist and multi-
instrumentalist, Mandy Fer
fills the stage with her strong
yet poised guitar solos, defy-
ing long-held gender barri-
ers for female lead guitarists.
Dave McGraw9s emotional
songwriting riffs on natural
elements of the world around
him. McGraw spent a decade
as a wildlife biologist, study-
ing endangered birds in
remote locales from the des-
erts of Mexico and the Grand
Canyon to the mountainous
rainforests of Washington.
McGraw and Fer joined forces
in Flagstaff, AZ, in 2010
before relocating to the Pacific
Northwest in 2012.
