We have been working hard down in Metro Detroit, teaching and writing, and back in northern Michigan for writing and health! And Scott just had another treatment, thank you for the prayers. Looking forward to seeing you out there, and also with shows and book events coming next month in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Detroit Michigan.
So it’s October, and September is flying by with good radio play on many stations, including WKLT-FM (KLT The Rock Station) in Traverse City, WAKT-FM in Toledo, Ohio and Harrisville Michigan, Ocean Beach Radio in Oregon, Farm Fresh Radio in Vermont and upstate New York and WHFR Dearborn Michigan.
And in late September into early October, I’m excited to be appearing on Michigan’s Sonic Coast radio and also, on WYCE-FM in Grand Rapids, Michigan. New music released this year will be featured as well as a new interview. Updates on that soon, too.
I also am appearing Saturday Nov. 22nd at St. Dunstan’s Theatre in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan for the Stewart Francke celebration show – details on that shortly.
And there are December holiday dates Sunday December 8th at The Ferndale District Library at the Sunday Songwriter Series at 2 pm – and also , Mary McGuire and I are doing a special show at the downtown Ann Arbor District Library on Sunday Dec. 15th at 2 pm – both of these are free and will be wildly eclectic and a lot of fun with special guests! Scott Dailey and Ron Wolf will be joining us. Details at the links.
Celebrating 11 years cancer free, I’m thinking of Pinktober…but I’m also thinking of those who are very close to us with cancer. We are lifting up hope and health and let’s get a cure for this dreadful disease!
We are marking the calendar for Thursday March 21st with a new single release! Scott and I are releasing “14 Miles of Bad Road” and I have more brand new songs being released in April, May, and into June on all major platforms, culminating into a new album later this year x There are also videos so it’s an all new Spring fever.
I am singing and playing keyboards, with Scott Dailey on strong and wild guitar, bass and backing vocals, Lauren Johnson on drums, Jason Charboneau on cello, Chris Spooner on baritone bass, Ron Wolf on percussion, Chuck Alkazian at Pearl Sound for the drum sessions and Warren DeFevre at Third Man Records Detroit for the mastering. Also, special thanks to Erin Zindle for the incredible video work for the songs!
I’m also working on another two new songs and a new poetry and prose book. So my blog right here will feature the links to the new songs as well as video premieres on YouTube for each. And there will be news on radio interviews and airplay, too, coming up soonon NPR Detroit WDET-FM 101.9 and much more.
“14 Miles of Bad Road” is a rock and roll number that builds on guitar with a sneaky organ and and a bluesy feeling underneath. We’ve got a counterpoint singing in the verses and a wild fuzz guitar solo searching in the middle built on piano and guitar, with a hard, hard road.
And in April, we’re also releasing the song “Blue Ridiculous Love” (written by Scott and me) , and all single releases will be available digitally on Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud and Amazon, etc., but also as new videos on YouTube. Yes! We will eventually have a CD/viny release party as the songs will be available this Fall at shows, too.
While we had a huge end of the year at the end of December 2023 with many shows and television appearances, it’s almost Spring and time for all new! I’m updating so much right now.
Thanks for the love, support and patience!
Love, Carolyn, Scott and the Carolyn Striho Group ) x
