Great July show and New Music Release!
Happy July! With a wonderful June of great gigs, traveling and another new music release, July brings more!
Good news on a new show – I’m performing at The Concert of Colors with the Don Was All-Star Revue with Scott Dailey and a dazzling lineup of incredible artists! Join us at the Detroit Institute of Arts Sunday evening July 21st from 8 to 9:30 pm. The details are here at https://dia.org/events/concert-colors-don-was-allstar-revue-peace-love-and-understanding This is our 5th time performing with Don and the Revue at the Concert of Colors and we’re honored and grateful! It’s free admission at the DIA Film Theatre, too! https://www.concertofcolors.com/
Also, at the end of the month our new song “I Will Rise” will be released on all digital platforms and will be part of the CD/album we’re putting together this Fall. The new YouTube video is almost finished and will be out the first of August, too. I wrote “I Will Rise” a bit ago, and am grateful to have it recorded at Inner Door Music. It was included in a PBS film in Detroit for “Those on the Front Lines of Cancer” and performed at The Pink Fund Breast Cancer Dancing with The Survivors’ show as well.
Check for “I Will Rise” here at: https://carolynstriho.hearnow.com/i-will-rise Featuring vocals and piano from me, Scott on guitar, bass and vocals, and Lauren Johnson on Drums. Mixed at Third Man Records Cass Corridor Detroit by Warren Defever. Drums at Pearl Sound Studios with Chuck Alkazian, Canton Michigan. Give it a listen and download if you can July 31st! Thank you !
We thank so many stations for the airplay! It’s really appreciated xo
There is the new release on Bandcamp as well with Detroit Energy Asylum – if you read this far, you should really check it out if you can. It’s called “Landslide of Life.” What an album, and I’m so happy to hear that it’s out on Detroit’s Orchide Records. https://detroitenergyasylum.bandcamp.com/album/landslide-of-life-82-22
And grateful to be writing, as it has been 11 years since I had breast cancer. Sending strength to those fighting cancer, and all my best.
Love,
Carolyn, Scott and the band 🙂

“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.”
