Carolyn Striho - Live at the Ferndale Library - December 8 at 2:00 pm:

Carolyn Striho’s music has been described as written “from the silver edge of midnight” (All-Music Guide, USA). Wildly original and highly regarded as one of the city’s best singer/songwriters, Carolyn’s also an award-winning musician, performer, and poet. From her early days in Detroit art rock/punk rock to her current soulful music, Carolyn’s alluring vocal delivery with a rock and roll folk baroque is hypnotizing.

She was on the Grammy Awards First Ballot 2024 for Best American Roots Song/Performance for “The Bridge” w/Erin Zindle (mixed by Jamie Candoloro of REM and Luscious Jackson), 2022 Grammy Awards First Ballot for Best Spoken Word Album (for her “Detroit (Maiden Energy)”) and 2018 Grammy Awards First Ballot for Best Rock Album. Carolyn has 11 Detroit Music Awards for albums, songwriting, singing, musicianship and performance.

Carolyn’s toured and worked with poet/rock icon/singer Patti Smith in Michigan, Toronto, Lollapalooza and London U.K. She’s performed with Don Was/Was (Not Was), Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Slits, Ramones, Iggy Pop, and with Yoko Ono, Steve Earle, Tori Amos, Sinead O'Connor, Yoko Ono in London, U.K. and more. Carolyn’s performed three tours of Italy, played at Isle of Wight, U.K., London U.K. at Royal Festival Hall and Hope and Anchor and performed for two months in Japan.

She was featured in “Hit Girls: Women in Punk” which was in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Revolutionary Women’s Exhibit. And there’s a new release with Carolyn’s former Detroit Energy Asylum which she fronted on vocals with renowned saxophonist Dave McMurray and Grammy/Oscar award-winning keyboardist Luis Resto on Orchide Records.

In the meantime, Carolyn and her husband/guitarist Scott Dailey are debuting dazzling new songs this year, which are receiving sweet airplay on NPR and stations around the country.
