Sway Wild with Special Guests the Chumlilies @ Icicle Creek Center for the Arts

San Juan Island, WA-based indie folk-rock duo Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw are back at it with a new sound, and a new name: Sway Wild! Their exceptional vocal harmonies, coupled with Fer’s pioneering electric guitar work, have become a vehicle to carry them around the world, sharing stages with the likes of Iron & Wine, Lake Street Dive, and Watchhouse. Sway Wild’s infectious sound explores the corners of rock, pop, funk, worldbeat, and folk, but at its nucleus it is undeniably a music full of joy.
The Chumlilies are a four-piece string band sprouting from the Wenatchee Valley. They dance across the musical landscape with acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, and bass. Their first rehearsals transpired in a small yurt up the Chumstick Highway in 2019 and now they play gigs throughout the State of Washington. All members are vocalists, composers and multi-instrumentalists who write original tunes. Their passion for music and collaboration has fused them into a fun, loving family band.
