Mandee Ferrier

"Solo pianist/singer/songwriter who writes moody instrumentals and confessional, pastoral lyrics to form her blend of alternative easy listening. Born into a musical family, her grandmother is a professional organist and her mother was in the gospel band The Glorybound Singers throughout her childhood. The piano is Mandee's first love; the flute lessons began at age 8. By then, she was playing Beatles songs on the piano and composing her own material, drawing influences along the way from Carole King, Elton John, The Carpenters, and Joni Mitchell. In high school and college, musical acts like the Cure, PJ Harvey, They Might Be Giants, Ben Folds and Tori Amos continued the musical inspiration. After a four year stint post-college in West Virginia, Mandee is back in Maryland, and has now released her first full length CD, Seasonings.
