Superfrye

Folk
Imagine if Johnny Cash, Patti Smith, Nick Cave, T-Bone Walker and Bob Dylan got together to write a song for Twin Peaks...
A reverb-drenched guitar sits in the center of the stage. In Superfrye's hands it becomes the sound of empowerment, rebellion, truth and freedom--wrapped up in storytelling of a folk artist diving headfirst into the struggles of real people; this is raw roots with soul. It bursts with outlaw and outsider energy, yet with full control Superfrye constantly toys with the edges of emotion, from haunting to hilarious and back again, with her vast catalog of originals and covers to draw from in styles from roots to flamenco, R&B to blues, lounge to punk. Her songs bring you the sound of the terroir of the places she's been and years she's lived, as well as where she's going next. Come along on the adventure.
