    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, Kingsize EP. In 2014, he was the recipient of an IAP arts grant from Chicago's Dept. Of Cultural Affairs/Special Events (DCASE), which led to his first full-length solo album, Home Now, produced by Grammy-nominated producer Liam Davis, and featuring, among others, 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 Robbie Gjersoe (Flatlanders, Jimmie Dale Gilmore), Nora O'Connor (The Decemberists, Neko Case, Iron And Wine) and pedal steel legend Lloyd Maines. Gerald has also appeared on Switchback's upcoming album Red or Blue and has played on Martin Laurence McCormack's original music as well. His website is www.GeraldDowd.com

  • Strung Out Episode 201. THE WORLD ROUNDUP FROM THE BACKYARD
    May 5 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    It's the World Roundup (from the backyard of Martin's house in Chicago). This week Martin talks about the college Palestinian encampments and how both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli factions are getting things half wrong. Then we look at two very interesting stories that popped up in the news that you probably don't know anything about.
