SUMMARY:MANDY FER & DAVE MCGRAW
DESCRIPTION:MANDY FER and DAVE MCGRAW \nPacific Northwest based songwriter duo Dave McGraw & Mandy Fer voyage even further out to sea on their latest self-produced/recorded release  Off-Grid Lo Fi.  This was recorded entirely with solar and wind powered electricity on a nearly uninhabited\, remote\, off-grid island in northwest Washington state\, McGraw and Fer have ventured into new territory\, both geographically and artistically. \nKnown as a standout electric guitarist and multi-instrumentalist\, Mandy Fer is unafraid to dominate the stage for an extended guitar solo\, defying long-held gender barriers for female guitarists. Dave McGraw’s emotional songwriting riffs on natural elements of the world around him. McGraw spent a decade as a wildlife biologist\, studying endangered birds in remote locales from the deserts of Mexico and the Grand Canyon to the mountainous rainforests of Washington. McGraw and Fer joined forces in Flagstaff\, Arizona in 2010 before relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 2012. \n“Every now and then an album comes along that is so good\, you just can’t get anything else done…I have this problem at the moment with Dave McGraw and Mandy Fer’s first official collaboration album\, which as far as problems go\, isn’t such a bad one. With an immediately warm and soothing feel to the record\, the rich acoustic sound and perfectly pitched vocals courtesy of both singers\, together with some fine electric guitar playing makes SEED OF A PINE essential listening…some of the most delicious harmonies to have reached this reviewer’s ears thus far…”  -Northern Sky Music Magazine(UK) \n“Dave and Mandy create a confluence of soulful lyrics\, musical chops and harmony in their music that is as beautiful as it is thought provoking.”  -Willy Porter \n“I could talk about these songs [Seed of a Pine] until the cows come home. Honestly this is one of those…albums which ‘had me at hello.’ If you’re a fan of modern folk and Americana\, you can’t go wrong with Seed of a Pine.” \n-Seattle Post Intelligencer – BlogCritics.org \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:ANA EGGE
DESCRIPTION:When ANA EGGE got bit by the music bug as a teenager\, she took matters into her own hands\, building her own guitar\, and moving to Austin\, TX to observe\, absorb and take musical risks. The striking depth and unusual maturity of her singing\, playing\, and songwriting got her noticed\, and she recorded her first album\, River Under the Road (1997) with the legendary western swing band\, Asleep At The Wheel. The Austin Music Awards named her “Best Singer/Songwriter” and “Best Folk Artist.” Over the ensuing years and 8 subsequent CDs\, Ana has made good on that promising debut. She has worked with producers Martin Terefe\, Jason Mercer\, Joel Plaskett\, Steve Earle\, and Stewart Lerman\, and recorded full albums with The Stray Birds and The Sentimentals. Now\, in 2018\, she has released White Tiger\, her tenth album\, a new batch of Egge originals of such singularly articulate and affecting honesty and sensitivity\, as to once again deserve USA Today’s accolade\, “[Ana] can write and sing rings around” her contemporaries. \nLucinda Williams called her “… An Exceptional Songwriter…the Nina Simone of Folk”. \nAna Egge grew up with parents who “dropped out\,” choosing to raise four girls in a lovingly cobbled together combination of a small farmhouse on the North Dakota plains\, a bus on the California Coast\, and a hot springs commune in rural New Mexico\, scraping together dimes and hand-me-downs. Ana learned that her life was truly hers to create. “We were always the outsiders\,” she says. “I was taught how to shoot a gun and how to enjoy alfalfa sprouts and tofu. I ran around barefoot and learned to ride a motorcycle when I was 5. I grew up with all the time and space in the world.” Given her unconventional upraising\, it’s not surprising that Ana has since been plotting her own journey\, confident\, fearless\, and uncompromising. She’s been around the horn of life’s experiences\, having forsaken the Great Plains for Sunset Park in Brooklyn\, and gotten married and become a mother\, but she’s never lost touch with the free-spirited childhood and the Western landscape that formed her. \nAlec Spiegelman\, who plays bass clarinet and synthesizer and sings\, will be accompanying Ana. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats.
