New Shows and News xx
We’re back from winter’s depths of injury and illness. There is still a lot to go through health wise, but my arm has healed up and I’m ready to play guitar and piano again. I’m really grateful. Scott’s entering a new treatment for his condition, but we hope to do some really cool gigs this year. We released new music last year and would love to record more for the album this year. We have some sweet new shows coming up and later this year, some in our hometown of Detroit, Michigan, too.

“Love the colour of your heartfelt voice, lovely intro on ‘Cornered Room’ great song! ‘Let It Go’ another favourite of mine, nice rapping, and love the gypsy feel on ‘Russian Inn’ beautiful violinist. Stunning album, love it”
Striho continues to share her brilliance, effortlessly moving from bluesy and jazzy to belted out rock & roll. Her latest release, Afterthought, showcases all of these styles, along with a few more that might surprise people. The musical poetry is undeniably Striho however, and she manages to pull everything together with the ease of a seasoned pro and the flair of a master illusionist. She makes her own creative path and people can’t help but follow where she leads…
“Afterthought moves through a host of musical moods, from the moodier, darker vibe of the opening title track to exotic gypsy-rock feel of “Russian Inn” to the lively, driving sound of “Love Won’t Stay Close” which you can hear exclusively for now in this Freep First Spin debut.”
