Tiny Airfares with Superfrye and Gerald Dowd

Tiny Airfares

Tiny Airfares are a Chicago music duo, with pop sensibilities and catchy songs that sometimes
veer off into forlorn dissonance, yet resolve with satisfying structure.

former band, Phenomenal Cat played the Hideout several times for Pot Lucky events.
Leslie Walle-Santos, drums & vocals, is a member of John Ballantyne’s Crazy Heart and
drumming with Superfrye, just to name a few local acts he lends his great musical skills.
Years ago, Leslie played with Steve Dawson in Stump the Host.

Superfrye

Superfrye is an accomplished and innovative performer. She has played all over Chicago, both solo and with her band. She had a three year residency at Rojo Gusano in Ravenswood. During those three years she also fronted the host band at the open mic she built up at Artifact Events and has been a regular performer at Montrose Saloon. Pre-pandemic she had been working on getting into the Nashville scene, performing at writer’s nights and solo at breweries and pubs in and around Nashville and neighboring states.  During the pandemic, she held shows off her balcony, online and in the public parks with her band the Valiant 72’s where she kept people’s spirits up through music and laughter. 

Gerald Dowd

Gerald Dowd has been described as “the hardest working drummer in Chicago” (Richard Milne, WXRT)
, playing on over 100 albums, and averaging 150 live dates a year around the world. In recent 
years, he's been releasing solo albums of original material, starting with his 2012 release,

Chicago legends Robbie Fulks and Casey McDonough. His most recent album, Father's Day, was 
engineered/co-produced by Steve Dawson (Dolly Varden, Funeral Bonsai Wedding), and features
