The Superfrye sound was born out of flamenco, rockabilly and blues but has traveled as far as lounge, R&B, surf and disco. It’s outsider, outlaw, raw and real roots with soul, but at its core is the story. Her songs reflect the terroir of every place she’s been, every year she’s lived and are illustrated by lyrics about empowerment, rebellion, truth and freedom. The sound underpinning the stories she tells centers around a reverb drenched guitar in a vast catalog of originals and covers, constantly toying with the edges of emotion from passionately haunting to hilarious and fun.
