Mano & Gregor Band

A strange yet friendly bunch — Romania’s first indie folk band, debuted in 2022. Mano & Gregor was formed with the goal of introducing the widely known indie folk music genre to Romania within the framework of a high-quality musical production.

The group has made it their mission to bring music off the stage and directly to the audience. Besides performing on large stages, they are frequently spotted in unexpected places such as on the street, in trams, shops, or even museums, brightening the days of workers and passers-by alike.

One of the band’s frontmen, Botond Ráduly (“Manó”), is already a familiar name on the Transylvanian music scene, having reached the final stages of both Vocea României and X-Factor. The other frontman, Gergő Petri, is known from the bands Selfish Murphy and Whisperblast. As the frontman of Selfish Murphy, he toured in 14 countries — a journey that also influenced the musical direction of the Mano & Gregor project.
