Summer’s move to Fall music and books
It’s Thursday, August 27, 2020 as I write this, and while there is much to say, I know you are bombarded with many of the tough times we are in right now in this country and world! Prayers and good health and peace. Good news – my paypal is up and working at Paypal.me/carolynstriho1, and if you would like to buy any merch from me, including my book “Detroit (Maiden Energy),” any of my recent albums or CDs, or t-shirts, please send me a note in here at my website, and I’ll get it mailed off to you in a timely fashion. You can buy my book or our CDs for $12.00 with postage included through September! T-shirts would be $15.00, postage paid! Thank you!
Also, we are playing a Facebook Live Thursday August 27 2020 with Arts Beats and Eats. Scott Dailey and I will be livestreaming from www.facebook.com/striho OR www.facebook.com/carolynstriho at 7:30 pm EST Detroit time, and here are a few more details as we plan some music and poetry for you! Please help us to help those musicians hardest hit financially by the COVID-19 shutdowns and cancellations. For every dollar you donate to the ABE Musician’s Fund or you donate to us during our virtual performance Oakland County will match that amount up to $500,000! Funds go to Michigan musicians that have lost over 50% of their income due to COVID-19.” at: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/the-beats-go-onpaypal.me/carolynstriho1http://artsbeatseats.com/virtual-showcase-supporting-local-musicians
My Audio book is finally coming out in September, too! It will be on Findaway Voices and Audible/Amazon and hopefully also Google Play https://findawayvoices.com/. Details shortly – so you could also order an Audio or Kindle version of “Detroit (Maiden Energy)” street princess poems & lyrics. I’m grateful for all the nice reviews and articles regarding my book, and hope you get a chance to check it out on Aquarius Press. In other news, last month I was honored to announce that some of my music is on new compilations that have gotten great notice. And The Congregation Cafe in Detroit was a great, distanced live show – thank you!
We’ve recorded a new single “I Will Rise” that’s coming out soon, too!
Thank you for your time, and stay well!
Love,

“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.”
