July rushing river to August
This Thursday, July 27, 2023, we are playing one of our favorite places, The Whitney at the Whitney Garden Party mansion in Detroit! We are excited to be back at this gorgeous castle with new music, delicious lobster rolls and so much great dishes, drinks, the garden, and even a ghost bar inside! We’ll be playing on the beautiful patio after many great Spring and Summer shows. https://www.thewhitney.com/the-garden-party. https://visitdetroit.com/inside-the-d/whitney-garden-parties/
July 27th is also my late dad’s birthday and another special day for me on July 26th with a 10 year cancer free journey after having breast cancer in 2013 , too.
There’s a new album coming out that features the band I was in for many years, and my songs and my voice and keyboards, with amazing musicians from my former band Detroit Energy Asylum. Detroit Energy Asylum’s “Landslide of Life” is a heartening, thrilling and spirited album and I hope you might check it out. With a nice production job by Freddie Brooks, my ex, it’s got 10 songs you have to hear. There is also a great cover of Iggy’s “I Need Somebody” and much music with Dave McMurray on saxophone and a slew of great musicians. I was lucky to spend some time at Dave’s great gig at Third Man Records Cass Corridor Detroit for Concert of Colors and Blue Note Records in July with Don Was and crew. What a great night! So please check Detroit Energy Asylum on Bandcamp for the new album. The pre-sale link is coming in early August on Bandcamp, too.
I also am honored about having new songs to share with you soon! We had anticipated summer, but the songs will be released this Fall into the end of the year, both as singles and an album. Stay tuned for my new songs with Scott Dailey, and the band. 🙂 Scott and I are excited to release new music this year. It’s really happening!
Happy August,
Love and hope,
Carolyn xx

“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.”
