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,
