July Music!
Celebrating 10 years cancer free. It’s been a long road and I’m thankful to have made it this far. Appreciating just being right now. Love and hope – and to your health!
We had quite a fantastic June, with many shows, and I have to say they were great. From the west side of Michigan at Trinity House Theatre, to the Farmington Art on the Grand Bookfest, to Schulers Books aWest Bloomfield and to the east side to St. Clair Shores Lit Fest on the Lake, back to Detroit’s Cadieux Café with The Orbitsuns, and way out northwest in Grand Rapids Michigan at The Pyramid Scheme with Women in Rock, too. Wow!
And we’re happy to hear that our new song with Erin Zindle and Carolyn Striho “The Bridge” is being played on radio throughout Michigan in Detroit, Metro Detroit, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, Traverse City and Toledo, Ohio. Check it out on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and Amazon – Erin and I had a good time writing and recording it, and it sounds quite sweet out in the world now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AdqNc5CQ5I
Scott Dailey and I with our band are in the mixing/mastering stage of 5 new tracks – with a few more on the way, too. We’ll start releasing new singles later this year.
The Women of Rock show was a huge success and such a great live show (and super time collaborating – and what a crowd! Thanks to Crooked Tree Creative and all the marvelous musicians we had together 😉
In July, we’ll be playing again with Erin Zindle at The Rumpus Room in Chelsea, Michigan, debuting our new song “The Bridge” with a set from each of us. That’s Friday night, July 7th at 8 pm https://www.therumpusroomchelsea.com
And another big show is coming up! We are playing two sets with our full band on Thursday, 7/27 at the beautiful and classy Whitney mansion in Midtown Detroit! This is the Whitney Garden Party, and we are so happy to be back at The Whitney. Gates open at 5p, sets at 6p and 7:30p. If you want guaranteed seating, please get tickets in advance. https://www.thewhitney.com/events/The-Garden-Party

“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.”
