Acoustic Guitar Presents Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw

The Pacific Northwest songwriting duo of Dave McGraw and Mandy Fer recorded their latest album, Off-Grid Lo-Fi entirely, well, off the grid, using wind and solar to power their rustic log-cabin studio.

During a visit to the AG Sessions studio, Fer showed that she means business as she delivered a percussive attack to the instrumental “Train Wreck” in (drop-D tuning), from the band’s latest album. Fer and percussionist/guitarist McGraw also performed the gently rockin’ Magnolia Trees,” with Fer on banjo and McGraw on acoustic guitar.
