We had quite a fantastic June, with many shows, and I have to say they were great.From the west side of Michigan at Trinity House Theatre, to the Farmington Art on the Grand Bookfest, to Schulers Books aWest Bloomfield and to the east side to St. Clair Shores Lit Fest on the Lake, back to Detroit’s Cadieux Café with The Orbitsuns, and way out northwest in Grand Rapids Michigan at The Pyramid Scheme with Women in Rock, too. Wow!
And we’re happy to hear that our new song with Erin Zindle and Carolyn Striho “The Bridge” is being played on radio throughout Michigan in Detroit, Metro Detroit, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, Traverse City and Toledo, Ohio. Check it out on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and Amazon – Erin and I had a good time writing and recording it, and it sounds quite sweet out in the world now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AdqNc5CQ5I
Scott Dailey and I with our band are in the mixing/mastering stage of 5 new tracks – with a few more on the way, too. We’ll start releasing new singles later this year.

We performed at the Detroit Free Press Marathon in October to cheer the runners in October on a big morning in Detroit and Windsor, Canada. And I performed at a gorgeous wedding in Detroit in September.
The new recordings are coming soon as I’m working on 4 more songs to add to the album and finishing storyboarding a new video. Then there is the book and some new readings and working on another book. My songs have been on 3 compilation albums in the last 4 years in the U.S. and the U.K., and “Afterthought” was also included in a feature film, “Poor Greg Drowning.”
Upcoming is the single release will be coming for “I Will Rise,” then the EP/album with another couple of surprise releases with Erin Zindle (from Erin & The Ragbirds) and a new Striho/Detroit Energy Asylum release on Orchide Records – stay tuned and thanks for being patient!

Happy Winter! We’ve been invited to do several shows this year at fantastic venues.And I haven’t written in some time for my blog. There has been energy moving this year for recording, teaching and bigger optimism suddenly. With very cold weather and some bigger snow in February, March could be cold but bringing it on to Spring. It has not been easy these past 2 years and we have all been through quite a bit of traumatic times, but also good times. I’m not losing sight to be grateful, but sometimes I wonder! To keep going is the main thing x

It’s been one tough year again, but I’m really grateful today for our gigs and music this year. I’m also grateful for the Grammy Awards First Ballot nomination for my audiobook “Detroit (Maiden Energy”) for Best Spoken Word Album 2022. I’ve met so many singers, musicians and authors, and we did travel a bit for the book, too. And I am excited to be back on recording a new album with my husband and guitarist/songwriter Scott Dailey.
We lost some incredible people this year however, including my friend and promoter Pete Holden in the U.K. at the Isle of Wight Rhythmtree Festival. Rest In Peace, Pete.
2022 will bring some new music releases and also, from the way back catalogue of goodies!
So here’s to a better year, and for more compassion, peace and good health,
