New in June

by | May 26, 2025 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

We’ve been all over this year from Detroit down to St. Petersburg and Treasure Island in Florida, and back in Michigan from Traverse City to Grand Rapids to Ann Arbor and back up near Big Rapids and Cadillac, Michigan. I’ve been teaching down here every day and working on new poetry and compiling some really cool stories of my music life. It’s a lot to work on a new book, but I found even more poetry from many years. This could be an adventure and I hope I get there with the new book. Scott has been undergoing treatments but his health is stabilized even with these strong treatments. We are grateful and hope things continue to improve. He will also join me on the new shows this month. He is hoping to finish some new songs as well.

So here we are with new June shows with the full band too! 

  • Friday to Sunday, June 13 to June 15 is the marvelous Nor’Easter Festival up in northern Michigan- we’re back again this year performing on Saturday June 14th at 5:30 pm on the Main Stage. It’s a really cool festival and it’s tucked into the northeast side of Michigan (if you keep driving you go straight to Lake Huron!) There’s a super lineup of excellent artists and vendors!! Join us and check it out for tickets and camping at https://www.noreastrfest.org/
  • Wednesday, June 18th, we’re with the full band at the beautiful Ferndale Summer Concert Series located at The Ferndale Library courtyard at 6:30! NPR Detroit’s Jeff Milo and the Ferndale Library have teamed up for a great series this summer! It’s free and I hope you can come out to it at 9 Mile and Woodward – not too far from Detroit in a special place – Ferndale, Michigan. Details at  https://www.fadl.org/scs
  • Sunday June 29th, we return to one of our favorite clubs and a great place with rock and roll, Belgian beer and delicious mussels at, the Cadieux Café in Detroit with our friends The Orbitsuns – 3 pm Sunday matinee with our full band, then The Orbitsuns! Everybody is always pumped for these shows and come on over for a summer afternoon/early evening with us all ! https://www.facebook.com/share/1A4GVksnau/ and https://allevents.in/grosse-pointe/the-orbitsuns-and-the-carolyn-striho-group/200028134021501

Here in the U.S. thanks for the airplay at WYCE Grand Rapids, WAKT-FM Toledo Ohio, WXTF-LP 97.9, Harrisville Michigan, WDET-FM NPR Detroit 101.9 FM and Radio Cobra Detroit !

Love, and to your good health,

December Update

by | Nov 30, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Thank you to “Blues U.K.” and Tony Corner in England for the airplay this month! We’re thrilled to have more airplay with “14 Miles of Bad Road’ being heard in the U.K, with Tony’s German station/show next!

One of our brand songs released this year, “I Will Rise,” has also made it to a new CD collection of songs! Thank you to Erik and Hudson Harding Music in Philadelphia for choosing this song for the new compilation/November/December collection. There’s some wonderful songs by our friends The Lucky Nows, The Rough and Tumble and Mike Ward, and more! Yes,  it’s in Folk, which is one of our many genres of writing ) There’s a lot of great artists on the album and we’re in good company on “Folk Now.” https://www.facebook.com/hudsonharding

While I’m still down with my broken arm, my husband/guitarist Scott has had a tremendous health challenge. He is also hoping to be back performing with me next year. We  have been through too much to explain on a blog and may start a Substack soon. And I hope to be back to teaching soon, too. The broken arm is more in my shoulder so it takes even longer to heal. 

In the meantime, I am working on new poetry, compiling already-written poetry, and a hint at an autobiography for my next poetry book. I hope that makes sense, but safe to say there is another poetry book coming out with a special story or two as well in the book – so stay tuned. 

 I have rescheduled shows for 2025 and we are going to release a new album of material from this year with new songs. New dates are coming up on the website, and at Songkick, Bands in Town and Reverbnation. Excited to be back with some new Book Events for my prio book, “Detroit (Maiden Energy)” and also, our new music gigs

Thank you for listening and the support. Happy December health and hope, 

Love,
Carolyn
